"Margaret first draws an impression to get the design of the specimen before recreating it on good drawing paper. She says, "I work very quickly while the plant is alive and I don't go back later in the year and finish it, so I must work quickly. I'm always thrilled when I start a flower because it's a new experience and I never grow tired of the flowers." (The Artist, Gardening Australia, ABC broadcast, 15 November 2008)
