Ridiculous! What am I supposed to do, build a hermetically sealed greenhouse?” </p><p> He only realised he’d spoken alound when his neighbour said, “Don’t forget to get a construction permit. And don’t expect me to agree if it casts a shadow on my garden.” </p><p> “Maybe you could switch to plants Mrs Friend is not breeding?” the officer suggested. </p><p> Val let go a breath that would have turned into a rant. Don’t shoot the messenger. “Thank you. I’ll consider it.” Scanning the document for a due date, he found that it came into effect immediately. Of course. </p><p> His rose bushes were doing rather well, for plants cheaply bought at discounters over the years. They ringed the small garden, alternating between yellow, red, and yellow-with-red-edged-petals, most now hip-high and in full bloom thanks to Val’s care. </p><p> With a sigh he told the officer, “I’ll cut off the blooms and buds today. That should stop the cross-pollination for now, and leaves me more options than destroying the plants entirely.” </p><p> “Thanks for your cooperation.” </p><p> Later, Val paused in beheading his own flowers for a look at his neighbours’. Those had fewer blooms, since for breeding new varieties she let them go to seeds rather than removing anything that started wilting. He bowed his head back over his work to hide a smile. Fantasy or not, the thought of poaching for some really fancy rose hip tea cheered him up a little. </p><p>Inspired by the prompt "Law and Order, the unnatural forces" by <a href="http://rix-scaedu.livejournal.com/">rix-scaedu</a>.</p> Persistent Growth Fri, 16 Dec 2011 10:44:24 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/fiction/persistent_growth <p>The first time morning glory grew right through the wall into Rina’s bedroom was almost funny. Sometimes she let it grow up the bar of a shelf, which did not take long, before ripping it out. The blooms were pretty, and unlike potted plants did not require her watering. </p><p> Rina was still relieved when she moved to a different flat, without plants growing through the walls. At least there had not been any in the first week. Morning glory must really like me, she thought, when the first thing she saw after waking up was the tip of a twine climbing up the wall. Since the landlord was unresponsive, she closed the cracks they grew through herself with putty — repeatedly, since the morning glory always found a way around it. </p><p> When one spring morning she woke up with morning glory tendrils wrapped around her arms, she had enough, and started looking for another place to stay. Ridiculous, fleeing from flowers, but apparently “grows like a weed” had some basis in fact </p><p> She was lucky: a few of her friends had been considering buying a house, if they could find someone else to live in and pay rent. Rina jumped at the opportunity, under the condition of getting a bedroom well above ground level. </p><p> Living with friends worked out better than she thought, which she blamed on not having to share a room. It improved her social life immensely having people around to talk to. </p><p> The persistent morning glory turned into a joke. It turned into something else when her friends found her body, strangled by a flower. </p><p>Based on the prompts "Growth" by <a href="http://lordbatsy.deviantart.com/">Batsy</a> and "Spooky plants" by <a href="http://ellenmillion.livejournal.com/">Ellen Million</a>.

Warm Orchid Fri, 30 Jul 2010 10:18:09 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/orchid2 <p>ACEO (3.5 by 2.5 inches), water colours (and black and white ink)</p> <p>Drawn from life (from one of my miniature orchids). The background gave me some trouble - first I used orange, which overpowered the yellow blossoms, then I added an ochre wash, which was better, but still too similar, so then I added a very light wash of umber.</p> Halo Thu, 20 May 2010 15:37:02 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/dandelion Ex-dandelions in our front yard. Postwork: quite a bit of cropping. Orchid Wed, 14 Apr 2010 05:54:29 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/orchid1 My miniature orchid. Postwork: some cropping Tulip Tue, 26 Jan 2010 21:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flower4 ca. 4x6 inces, or in the general vicinity of an A6 postcard, watercolours on cold press watercolour paper. I looked at my gallery, and decided what I really needed right now was more bright colours. Flower Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:19:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flower3 Another bookmark, mostly acrylics, with a bit of coloured pencil underneath, on heavy black paper. The flower is more than a bit inspired by calla lillies. The scan is a bit bigger than the original; the flower is about 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) tall. Gathering Yellow Sunlight Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:37:29 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/evening_primrose Well, that's very very bright. Pinkness! Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:34:49 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flower2 Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of flower this is, but I liked the 3D-shape of the blossom with the stamina. Gathering Red Sunlight Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:26:36 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/poppy2 Another poppy. I like them a lot. Ink Flowers Mon, 15 Jun 2009 12:25:25 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flowers2 Two ACEOs, showing a snowdrop and some kind of speedwell, drawn for a Daily Drawing prompt. Red, red, red Sat, 30 May 2009 10:36:58 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/poppy1 I liked the way it stood out against the shadow, even if the red turned out rather too bright. Foxglove Thu, 14 May 2009 18:54:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/foxglove For the Daily Drawing prompt "draw something poisonous". Drawn from life - there were some growing in a flower bed on campus. It was just a pencil sketch in my cheap-ass sketchbook, but I found a filter that made the scan look somewhat more interesting, I hope. Floppy Flower Fri, 08 Aug 2008 22:00:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flower1 Just a small (3.5 by 2.5 inches) experiment with watercolours. The "image" actually was too small for an ATC/ACEO, so I made a darker background to stick it on. Water colours on 300g/sqm hot press watercolour paper Daffodil Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:01:43 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/daffodilX I'd been meaning to draw a daffodil for quite a while already, so the Daily Drawing prompt helped me to finally get to it. Ink (mostly brush pen, dip pen with a "super elastic" nib for the lines on the the stem and petals, marker for the background) and a bit of digital drawing to turn it from a trapeze into more of a rectangle/square. Drawn on a postcard over its whole width. Blossom Rainbow Fri, 28 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/flowers1 Blossoms are kinda fun to photograph. Mostly, they hold still. :D Violet, borage, no idea, bird's foot trefoil, marigold and tulip, taken at different times and places. Blue Tongue Sun, 23 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/lobelia In hindsight I would have taken a few steps back to get that one big stone at the bottom left in, if it really echoed the mat of flowers in shape like it seems here, but that spot is too far away to drive there just for one silly photo. @_@ Pansy Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:00:00 +0100 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/pansyX ACEO, watercolours. Butterfly on Lavender Fri, 06 Jul 2007 22:00:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/butterfly1 I was rather lucky that the one photo I could take of that little one before it took off was properly in focus. As far as I can tell, that species is called "wall brown" in English. Daily Drawing sketches Tue, 30 May 2006 22:00:01 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/sketches5 Two sketches based on two different prompts. The rose was drawn from life, more precisely from a table decoration at a family function. hummer Wed, 16 Jul 2003 14:51:00 +0200 https://ankewehner.com/gallery/elf40 "original" characters from Elfquest I planned to write, but never did.
