About the Item

Title: 1897 Botanical Prints – Nemophila, Cherry Pie, and Venus' Navelwort This set of three original botanical prints from 1897 features nemophila (*Nemophila insignis*), cherry pie (*Heliotropium peruvianum*), and Venus' navelwort (*Omphalodes verna*). Published in *Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse*, these finely detailed illustrations exemplify the Victorian passion for botanical art, celebrated for its accuracy and elegance. More details: 1. Nemophila (*Nemophila insignis*) - Common names: baby blue eyes - Interesting fact: This delicate wildflower, native to California, is beloved for its sky-blue blooms with white centers, making it a popular choice for gardens and meadows. Its soft, spreading habit creates a carpet of color in spring. 2. Cherry pie (*Heliotropium peruvianum*) - Common names: heliotrope, common heliotrope - Interesting fact: Known for its sweet, vanilla-like fragrance, heliotrope was a favorite in Victorian gardens. Its clusters of purple flowers are both ornamental and a magnet for pollinators like butterflies. 3. Venus' navelwort (*Omphalodes verna*) - Common names: blue-eyed Mary, creeping forget-me-not - Interesting fact: This low-growing perennial is prized for its vibrant blue, forget-me-not-like flowers and heart-shaped leaves, making it an ideal groundcover for shaded gardens. These exquisite botanical prints showcase the charm and diversity of these ornamental plants, perfect for collectors or as decorative accents in any space. Their timeless appeal reflects the artistry and scientific curiosity of the Victorian era. The nemophila print highlights its delicate blue and white flowers, finely rendered with detailed leaves and seed structures, showcasing the charm of this low-growing annual. The cherry pie, known for its richly scented clusters of purple blooms and vibrant green foliage, captures the romantic essence of Victorian gardens. Venus' navelwort is striking with its bold blue flowers, slender stems, and intricate root system, all carefully illustrated to emphasize the plant's structure and beauty. Each print remains in excellent condition with vivid colors and precise details that have been preserved for over a century. Perfect for framing, this trio will bring timeless botanical elegance to any interior. Ideal for antique print collectors, gardeners, or lovers of vintage decor, these works celebrate the beauty of nature and the artistic legacy of 19th-century botanical illustration.
