Signed Liz on the back

it feels as if it contains the wisdom of the universe in the spiral of its shell

they look just fabulous on the kitchen counter

the loose ends could be cut off if desired

I love the bold

Brassica campestris (Wild turnip), Plant Specimen from 1879 Herbarium Haitian landscape painting Signed Liz on the backI have a fantasy that one day at a flea market I'll uncover a beautiful antique herbarium that's been sitting in the bottom of a box for 150 years or so filled with page upon page of perfectly documented pressed and dried plant specimens. Alas, this has yet to happen, but I did recently find a seller with a nice bunch of them all by a N. N. Jones, and I just went back to her for a few more. This one is Brassica campestris, also known as Wild Turnip.
