A collection of watercolour studies painted from fallen leaves, seed pods, and weathered botanical fragments gathered during walks through April and May.

In the humid corner of my Sunshine Coast garden, heliconias flower through the height of summer. This post documents four varieties along with observations of their structure, fruit, and the insects and creatures that share their space.

What began as a flash of red fruit beside the path became an ongoing mini-study of Freycinetia scandens. This entry gathers sketches, photographs, and field notes from repeated encounters with the plant, exploring its structure, reproduction, and habitat in a sub-tropical Queensland rainforest remnant.
