Echinacea


Invasive plants are a major problem in the United States, our native landscape is slowly being overtaken. One of the main problems is that many people don.t know which plants are native and invasive. By creating a poster with the native plants, gardeners are aware of the native plants that are ok to plant in their garden.

For my final Limited Edition print Im creating a poster that illustrated the native hardy perennial species. I have done simple line drawings and colored them with a light wash of watered down acrylic paints. I scanned them and used photoshop to arrange them on the page.

This is Echinacea purpurea, the purple cone flower, which is my all time favorite plant.
