We have this native New Zealand shrub growing in our garden, and I love its tiny, slightly silvery leaves. Today is very rainy and grey, but these leaves shimmer against the garden wall. I wish i could remember the name of this particular plant, but it escapes me. (do you know it?) (The top image is from my 'botanical NZ plants' diary, and it's a painting of a kakabeak branch.)
I did some embroidery today, inspired by these tiny leaves, all the while thankful for our beautiful native plants that remain green and lush even in wintertime.
