Plant of the Day

Saturday 23 December 2023

At Gordon Castle, Scotland, these pillars of Fagus sylvatica Atropurpurea Group (copper beech, purple beech) add height and structure to the 100m long central borders. The designer Arne Maynard surrounded the topiary tree pillars with herbaceous plants in a soft colour palette with flowers and foliage of blue, purple and white with touches of yellow and apricot.

ann craven -- "purple beech (night sky), 2023" (2023)

"my paintings are a result of mere observation, experiment and chance, and contain a variable that’s constant and ever-changing — the moment just past" … ann craven

"craven may have painted the moon thousands of times, but she still relishes setting up a row of easels in her maine backyard as the sun sets, working on as many as five canvases at once" … julia halperin

"the moon is sooooooooooooooo maine … and maine truly is the moment just past" … al janik
