Amazing sanguinea painting from 1835

14 years ago

Here is a link to The British Flower Garden, Jan 1835 It is a complete book published on Google books. It has hundreds of original or early descriptions with amazing art & fascinating snippets, in slightly antique English, about the discovery & culture of many different kinds of plants.

I've linked it directly to my favorite page, Datura sanguinea (now Brugmansia sanguinea).

I think you'll enjoy these. :)

Beautiful drawing. It's like the artwork in the original Audubon books.
