Bristly oxtongue- Picris echoides

Bristly oxtongue- Picris echoides

Painting Name:

One sunny November morning I came across this rather unlovely plant a few metres from the sea on some rough ground. It captured my imagination with it’s bristly leaves and fluffy seed heads and unusual purple stems.
Pruners always in the car, I cut a couple of stems to take home to paint.
