What a strange and unfortunate name for this lovely edible flower. The leaves are zippy like a radish and I just got an email from a reader suggesting putting a dollop of Boursin cheese in the blossom. Well that would make anything taste yummy.

I am happy to just have them growing in abundance.

Again with the suggestions for making my paintings into note cards. My friend Wanda says nobody really uses note cards anymore, and I agreed with her...until yesterday. I was packaging up a couple of paintings to send to their new owners and thought that a card enclosure would be nice. Hmm.

So I looked through the inventory of my paintings photos, cropped one to fit and turned it into a note card by printing it upside down in the upper left corner of a full page in MS Word, using the landscape layout. I printed it on bright white HP paper and folded it twice and had a real looking note card. In the clear light of day I think I could have added text in the lower left corner too.

I am really not interested in making note cards of my work to sell as sets. Too fiddly. But today I am giving you the idea to do it yourself. ONLY FOR YOUR OWN USE. No selling my images, OK?

Here's a couple to try now. I placed them upside down to make it easy.
