NC Native Buttonbush

I drew a Buttonbush branch with some buds and a flower because I think they’re so interesting to look at. The flower is like a little space ship on a branch. I tried and failed to grow one in my backyard but ran into one over the weekend growing along the edge of a pond.

I took a crack at this very intricate flower but it wasn’t quite detailed enough so I came up with a second version which is what you see below.

This is version 1 which, I think, is less detailed and a little more abstract.
