Haven't posted in a while, I've been working on a few bigger blocks and this is one of them: an A4-size symmetrical evening primrose (oenothera biennis) design, printed in dark green. I reread Maurice for the dozenth time in a moment of weakness and the floral symbolism got to me. Darkness in Maurice signifies nature, truth, growth, and understanding; the repeated reference to this night-blooming flower is exemplary of that theme. (Don't get me started!)
