The Smoke Bush blooms in May. It is a versatile plant to print with and is effective even when the tiny yellow/coral flowers have fallen away. This print is taken from the plume when only the stamens hang on to the stem. They print such a deliciously stark inky black and have a surprisingly long life for a fugitive dye. I always think they look like birds feet trailing along the trellis of tiny stems.
