Garden of the Month
Wildflower Art of Quebec 
The sample photos below are of art on display at the new gallery at the
Montreal Botanical Gardens during 2011. They were painted of Quebec
wildflowers by botanist Hélène Richard of flowers she collected bicycling
through the province, and painted on the textured surface of recycled paper from
previous etchings. Being a botanist, she includes much accuracy and
anatomical detail. (photos taken fall 2011).
