I forgot to post my #100DaysOfWatercolorBotanicals yesterday 😱 "Coachwhip" Ocotillo can grow 20 feet tall and are quite a stinking, odd sight in the desert. They have red, tubular flowers that cluster at the tip of their canes, which are covered in scary looking spikes. Cuter from afar, splendid from any view. ✨ Fouquieria splendens ssp. splendens ✨ is the only Fouquieria found in Arizona. @desert_dwellers By far the coolest plant I've ever seen. #plantnerd 🌿 Info from Plants of Arizona @falcon.guides (Best modern plant book! Sweetly given to me by my hubs on our recent adventure ❤️) . . . . . #watercolor #watercolour #ocotillo #plants #plant #desert #arizona #spikes #painting #paonteddesert #explore #wanderlust #wonder #nature #iloveplants #escoda #winsorandnewton #art #100dayproject #100daysofsquinksart #livingfence #create #maker
