This design was from a drawing at the Eden Project whilst waiting for friends by the cafe ,If they hadn't been late it would never have existed . The birds there are incredibly friendly probably because they know they are safe and they have an endless supply of food from the veg beds which surround the cafe and the tourists who probably feed them crumbs.The Holly hocks takes me back to being 4 or 5 to our house at Ilkley . My father had a greenhouse in the back garden and grew hollyhocks next to the door . I was fascinated by them for at that timer they grew taller than I did they seemed a beautiful yet almost impossible flower in my young mind. The rest of the design are nasturtiums
Perhaps the lone bird is significant.Every picture tells a story!
