Wildflowers Folio

The wildflower season of south-west Western Australia is one of the largest temperate blooms on earth — thousands of flowering species across a single spring, more than half of them growing nowhere else. This folio surveys that season in thirty plates, from the kangaroo paws of the sandplains to the orchids of the forest floor. The plates fall into four groups. The kangaroo paws open the volume, from the red-and-green state emblem to the dwarf cat's paw and the dark-velvet Macropidia. Native peas follow — Sturt's desert pea, hardenbergia, the trailing running postman. A third group gathers the everlasting daisies with the spider, donkey, and rock orchids. The closing curiosities — grass tree, fringe lily, pincushion hakea — end with a gathered arrangement of the season's flowers. Thirty plates at folio scale, composed for A3 or A4 home printing and delivered as a high-resolution PDF at 300dpi. For personal colouring, not for resale.
