pomegranate-february

On Antiques Roadshow the other evening there was a folio of beautiful botanical illustrations.
Each page had twelve small paintings of the same section of a tree, the first from January and the last from December.
The length of twig was marked by a twist of ribbon and each drawing illustrated through the coming of buds, leaves, flowers, seeds and the return to the bare, a year in the life of the chosen tree.

In Australia, January is the height of summer so this pomegranate is in full fruit and leaf. In winter (July for us) the twig is spindly and naked.
The folio of illustrations from Britain started with the 'spindly and naked'
in January.

Any takers for a monthly blip of a ribboned twig from a tree of choice??
While not exactly time lapse it might be an interesting blip project.
