Well its getting late, so we are going to call a halt to our great virtual flower share. We hope you enjoyed this glimpse into the riches of our digitised collections.

@Pentreglaw Here for you - a hand-coloured illustration of Gentiana acaulis, drawn and engraved by William Clark (fl.1820s), from Flora conspicua published in London in 1826.

@MonroviaKat @AdrianRudnyk Sorry - afraid we have drawn a blank on Eidelweiss in our digitised collections. In normal times, we are digitising all the time so one day.. In the meantime here is a bouquet of tulips

@FletcherFoley @LTMID1 No problem - here is an illustration of Digitalis purpurea from William Withering: An account of the foxglove. Published in Birmingham in 1785.

@ChristinGeall Afraid you've beaten us - no lathyrus sativus in our digitised collection yet - though in normal times we are digitising all the time. In the meantime we can offer Lathyrus sylvestris by Lilian Snelling painted on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire.

@Lilyglowember Very happy to help, even in a small way. We know a lot of our library members and friends are shielding and we look forward to seeing you back in our libraries. In the meantime, the least we can do is this...

@ChristinGeall @LisaRomeo Here is a peony from the collections of the Lindley Library for you

@GreenFeltham @BridgeHousePond Here we are - Watercolour of Anchusa azurea (Italian alkanet) by Caroline Maria Applebee. Date: 1834. Hope you enjoy!
