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>.

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. 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. 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. @_@ 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. 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.
