Description
A painterly impressionist style photo painting of adorable cute little blue wildflowers called Asiatic Dayflowers also known as blue mouse ears. This plant is considered an invasive weed in Oklahoma but can also be eaten as a vegetable or used as fodder for livestock. In China where they are native plants, they are also used medicinally as a diruetic and anti inflamatory. I love the color and they are one of the two species of blue wildflowers that I know of in my area. I gave an impressionist painted treatment to this photograph.
