Antique prints of plants and flowers are just the thing to brighten up any room.
The earliest evidence that we possess of botanical knowledge is in the writings of Aristotle and his school.
Flowers have captured the imagination of poets through the ages. Even such a hardened militarist as Rudyard Kipling.
Buy my English posies!
Kent and Surrey may-
Violets of the Undercliff
Wet with Channel spray;
Cowslips from a Devon combe-
Midland furze afire-
Buy my English posies
And I'll sell your heart's desire!
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
