Exotic Plants Calendar

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
A glorious wall calendar celebrating the bright colours and lush flowers of exotic blooms. Reproducing details from 12 exquisite floral paintings by intrepid and pioneering botanical artist Marianne North (1830-90). The globe-trotting British biologist and artist travelled extensively to study plants in their natural setting and the calendar captures a variety of habitats. Unusually for a botanical artist, North also included landscapes and fauna in some of her paintings, including hummingbirds with a Californian Dogwood, and a view of the mountainous home of pitcher plants in the Seychelles. Includes ‘Foliage, Flowers and Fruit of the Sacred Lotus in Java’, c.1876; ‘Flowering Wild Pine Apple in Borneo’, 1876; and ‘A Cultivated Crinum, Borneo’, 1876, notably from a series which included a white Crinum that was new to science and later named Crinum Northianum in honour of North’s study of it. Plus colourful specimens of flowers and foliage seen on North’s travels to Jamaica, South Africa, the Seychelles, and North America. Enjoy vibrant views and tropical living every day of the year.
