Prince's-Pine is known as a winter lover because of its glossy evergreen leaves and its dry, brown fruit that tends to overwinter on the stems.  The Cree name, Pipsissewa, means 'it breaks into small pieces' which refers to a substance in the leaves that was believed to dissolve kidney and gall stones.  As a tea, many First Nations' Peoples and early settlers used this plant medicinally.

Hi Veronica,
I keep coming back to this one; I really like the dry-brushing(?) you did around the flower. Looks like it's in a spotlight. :)

Hi Mary...it's actually layers of varying shades (very similar tones) of paint placed using a flat brush in almost a pointalism style.

Thanks for the clarification, Veronica. Love your wildflowers and appreciate the little stories about each. :)
