Something else that's not exactly gardening but certainly related to plants... Some of you might know about Curtis Botanical Magazine, it's been creating beautiful illustrations of flowers since the 1700s. Before society had cameras, scientist/artists would create these amazing engravings, print them up and color each one. You can actually buy individual pages of these old books online, and they make fantastic art. They're not expensive, I got mine at Panteek.com - it's lovely just looking through their website of antique prints. Fruits, vegetables, roses, lilies, and some sections pages totally devoted to orchids. The botanicals are all on the left column of the main web page. It's a nice way to bring the garden inside on the walls. Just a thought, Flores
