One a Week: 11

Hypericum and Chrysanthemum are a mouthful, but to me they also capture the season.

The White Chrysanthemum symbolizes truth and purity. The Hypericum, also commonly known as St. John's Wort, produces this poisonous berry which is (ironically) called "toute saine" or totally healthy.

Something struck me about the way they look together.

"January" is painted in watercolor, 7 x 5 inches.

Oh I love hypericum. I had no idea it was St. John's wort!
Beautiful combination. Love the water and glass.

Thanks, Deborah! I didn't know either until I did some research today!

I love the soft lines in the Chrysanthemum contrasted by the little balls.
