It's been a long time since I had a What Genus Are You? post! But, it's back and I hope to keep this somewhat a regular thing! Hunting the Archive's site for pretty things has become a new fix for junk/dress hunting - and it doesn't cost a penny!
These images come from a Belgian horticulture book written in French circa 1848 - there's a slew of volumes but unfortunately there's only 2 scanned. I imagine the rest of them are just perfect as well!

these photos are just gorgeous!
They take me back to the flower garden in Disney's rendition of Alice in Wonderland, as Alice takes part in singing 'Golden Afternoon' accompanied by a chorus of ' Pensees Auricules'.
love it.
These could be really amazing tattoos if done right.
XOXO
Wow, so beautiful!
Gorgeous! I love the tattoo idea. I'm thinking a room filled with frames and frames of them. I'll never be able to afford a greenhouse, but a room of these would suffice. Thanks!
