Zebrina

8"X8" oil on canvas--$150

Zebrinas are a cultivar of Malva sylvestris. Last year I started a handfull of plants from seed, and this year I had dozens of plants scattered throughout my accidental forest. It has made itself a place beside the coreopsis, nasturtiums, four-o’clocks, irises, day lilies, California poppies, and alyssum. Like them, it multiplies and grows exuberantly without any help from me.
