I don't claim to have a green thumb.
In fact, the only thing that I seem to be able to grow without any difficulty are weeds and dandelions.
But that has never gotten in the way of my passion for botanicals of all varieties.
As a young girl, I would marvel at the multi-hued palette that would emerge in my Grandma's garden each Spring. It seemed to magically appear overnight -- though Grams was quick to set me straight. "A garden takes patience," she explained.
Well, there you have it. That's precisely why I have the scariest yard in the neighborhood every Halloween, and I don't even have to work for it.
Recently I came across a long-forgotten collection of botanical illustrations that immediately transported me back to those magical days in the garden. These images originally graced the pages of a popular botanical magazine in the year 1791. Since then, they were nearly forgotten -- but we've pruned, watered and nurtured them -- and brought them to you at an incredible savings!
