I picked this blossom up near our apartment and thought that the colours are so beautiful that I had to try and sketch it. I used watercolour pencils, watercolour, a tiny touch of ink and a yellow Posca pen to do this one. According to Wikipedia the tree has been nominated as among 100 of the “World’s Worst” invaders – it is not native to the Philippines but is widely planted as an ornamental tree.
