The Botanical Series is based upon sketches from the back yard and from traveling.  The first three come from our beloved ginkgo tree.  Another beloved tree, a 300-year old Live Oak in the middle of our front yard, was killed by a lighting bolt on Sep 8, 2001, taking 3 sad days to clean up the debris, hence "Ode to my Oak".  The next two windows depict our banana palm and a favorite begonia.  "Aspen" comes from sketches of aspen tree trunks in Sun Valley.  "Autumn Reverence" is a geometric representation of an autumn leaf.  Finally, there's "Ivy" and "Palm".
