"Euphorbia Seasons " for Nature Gathered


Our Nature Gathered group selected seasons for the April challenge. Mine represents a variety of seasonal euphorbia. I discovered this plant last year and began taking photos. I didn't realize that poinsettia also belong in the euphorbia family. The outer edges are stenciled- an inspiration from Mary Ann's online class. I used Photo Shop to arrange and alter my photos.

  1. This is just beautiful! I love euphorbias too, and never knew that the poinsettia was one.

    I really like your composition, and the stenciling is a great accent to the central design!

  3. Very nice, Paula. It reminds me of a mandala, too. I hope I get to see it in person.
