An Ode to Early Spring Wildflowers

ROSE & IVY An Ode  to Early Spring Wildflowers
 

The thing that is so remarkable about flowers is that they can bloom almost anywhere, like an expansive field or forging their way through concrete. Any way that a flower makes an appearance in the world, we are better for it. In an ode to wildflowers, I was inspired by an array of flowers blossoming together from one source like yellow eranthis and dandelions at different stages. There is something hopeful about beauty springing up in expected places and right now, I think we all need a bit of hope.
