Day 89:
Purple linaria
Linaria purpurea
A small plant growing pulled from gravel pathway.
Native to Italy. Habitat: Roadsides, footpaths, rocky banks, yards and railwaytracks. Leaves: alternate, numerous, pointed, not toothed. (Common Weeds of NZ)
Jacinda: Inkweed
100 black ink drawings of common New Zealand garden weeds (plants found growing where they are not wanted). The drawings, made on A4 paper, will loosely depict the plants' essential characteristics. Where possible I will identify them using the Massey University Weed Database and other online sources. On completion I will output all the drawings as one large poster on photorag paper.
