Creeping Water Primrose (Ludwigia peploides), 2026

Creeping water primrose (Ludwigia peploides) trails across white in this April 2026 digital illustration by Gina, styled as a study of a water plant. Red-brown stems bear bright yellow flowers with five petals among rounded green leaves. At the nodes, fine roots and small white floats appear. The plant spreads by rooting wherever its stem touches mud.
