July is #WorldWatercolourMonth, so we'll be sharing some favourites from our collections ✨ To start with, this work (c. 1916-17) by Marian Ellis Rowan shows the #orchid Eulophia zollingeri. This is part of a series of paintings intended for use on ceramics.

The #FolkloreThursday theme today is birthday folklore! We love this illustration of a honeysuckle by Mary Ann Stebbing - the traditional birth flower if your birthday falls in June. Honeysuckle is an excellent source of food for #pollinators & it smells glorious! #bees #botany
