Happy SAP Sunday, everyone! Today I'm proud to present a sketch of a Brazilian Red Hot plant drawn by my lovely wife, Mrs. Rainforest Gardener! I really like how she captured the character and form of the
Alternanthera dentata by giving it a lacy and filigreed look, making it look airy and carefree. She insisted that she only shared her sketch so that drawing wouldn't look too intimidating, but I absolutely love it. I'm a very lucky husband, aren't I?

This is what the real plant looks like |

And this is my wife's rendition! |
If you would like to contribute your own sketch for SAP Sunday, leave a link in the comments form and link back to me on your blog post. The McLinky seemed a little pointless since there aren't too many participants... yet! I started this meme to get myself in the habit of drawing more often and to ecourage others to appreciate their garden in a whole new way through the experience of drawing. Be brave, people!
