Anonymous Was a Botanist: Tulips

In upcoming blog entries I’m going to pair my “botanical” photographs with an illustration created by an early female natural history painter (whom you’ve probably never heard of).  

This gives me the opportunity to let some of my flower photographs see the light of day. It's also a chance to show the shared interests and approaches of many.
