SPRING FORWARD SALE: If you like Dr. Robert Thornton’s Temple of Flora botanicals, now’s your chance to get one for 30% off through 4/15/16. The hand-colored prints were published in London from 1799 to 1807. Thornton departed from previous botanical works in illustrating the plants to appear oversized relative the backgrounds, giving them a dramatic or even surreal appearance, which appeals to contemporary tastes. Shown above, “The Persian Cyclamen”: http://www.georgeglazer.com/news/features.html

More plant oddities! Part 3
This has probably become my favourite series, it takes time to find new material for these posts but I hope it’s worth the wait!
- 10-tepalled Fritillaria michailovskyi, they generally have 6 tepals
- Non-variegated Arabis ‘Rose Delight’ sporting bright yellow variegation
- Hybrid Primula of the polyanthus group with only one oddly pigmented flower
- 8-petalled Cyclamen hybrid, surpassing the 7-petalled one from episode 2
- Hybrid pansy with the regular 5 petals, but forming two distinct flowers with their own sexual organs
- Hybrid Cylamen sporting a beautiful example of chimerism
- Celosia cristata sporting proliferation on top of the fasciation it has been selected for
Check the equally odd Part 1&Part 2 and stay tuned for the next episode!
