Teri, this is beautiful. GORGEOUS coloring and a lovely drawing too!! I am from TEXAS and the Blue Lupine is or state flower. We call them Blue Bonnets and in the spring we have fields and fields of them and all along the roadside they are stunning!! Every TEXAN is in love with our beautiful Blue Bonnets and and literally millions of paintings and items with blue bonnets sell in this state every year. There is a rumor that it is against the law to pick them, (not really true.) As a single flower I don't think they are very pretty either, but in fields they are GORGEOUS!! Our Blue Bonnets have white tops and tiny, tiny deep red hearts at the center of some of the petals of the flower. I would image that almost every child in TEXAS has their picture taken in a field of Blue Bonnets at least once in their lifetime (my Grandchildren have one every year)!! The MM Design Team thanks you for playing in our challenge so faithfully.
p.s. the number sign (#) is keeping your card out of the MMSC58 gallery.
