If you're ever in Tucson, AZ, visit Arid Lands Greenhouses!!! It's a fantastic succulent & cactus nursery growing the most vibrant, interesting plants for sale in Arizona- and maybe the entire US! I fell in love with their Euphorbiaceae collection and walked out with WAY too many plants (a big ouch for the bank account but I can't say I'm feeling any pain surrounded by my new babies). This mandala was inspired by these beautiful Euphorb blooms on a plant I didn't take home. I'm thinking of printing this design on a few large sheets of watercolor paper and giving each a unique paint job. I can't wait to do more plant mandalas in the future!! If you can't make it to Tucson to see their breathtaking collection, Arid Lands does sell some plants online at www.aridlandswholesale.com. I highly recommend the IRL experience, though. Absolutely mesmerizing! #Botany #botanicalart #botanicalillustration #illustration #art #artistsofinstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #originalart #penandink #mandala #mandalaart #plantmandala #plantart #design #Tucson #AridLands #AridLandsGreenhouses #greenhouses #plantnursery #horticulture (at Arid Lands Greenhouses) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpfcMhCFoJn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=frqexu2oie8e
