just launched and i've already found fantastic stuff and prints!
I picked my two favorite illustrations to show you, and they all happen to be native to the U.S. First there's the Atamasco Lily by Julie Martinez. "At the edges of its historic range, it is at risk, although in some states it is quite common." Encouraging! Next, we have the gorgeous Stonogyne of Hawaii by Wendy Hollender. Sadly, it "easily falls into the IUCN Critically Endangered (CR) Red List category which designates it as facing the highest risk of extinction in the wild." Third, there's Glade Mallow by George Olsen, a tallgrass prairie plant. It may be on the plainer side (though I think it's lovely), but imagine it in all its 9-foot tall glory!
Luckily for those of us who didn't make it to this exhibit, the Losing Paradise? catalogue is available for purchase through the ASBA, and it has 44 full-color artwork reproductions from the show.
