About This Jigsaw Puzzle
Several prairie smoke plants display their distinctive feathery pink seed heads, like tiny wisps of rose-colored smoke, on arching burgundy stems. Below them, pendulous dark red buds hang on shorter stalks. The surrounding wild garden is a tapestry of gold, olive, sage, and deep green leaves creating a lush and textured backdrop.
Coloring Tips
Use dusty rose and mauve for the feathery plumes, and deep burgundy for the stems and hanging buds. The background foliage benefits from a wide range of greens and warm golds layered together to suggest a dense, naturalistic planting.
