Snake and pine lily (Lilium catesbaei) from Mark Catesby’s ‘The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands,’ 1731-1743. I saw this at the Newberry Library in Chicago.

Returning to my roots, a Pink Lady's Slipper in the Chinese gongbi watercolor style on rice paper. I decided to show it with some of my tools: a stone seal and ink, bamboo brushes, and my Chinese inkwell.

Fumi Nakamura captures a delicate tension in "Dissolution." The way they tie together is so wild and ethereal.

Soon a host of lovely flowers from vales & woodland burst; but in all that fair procession, the Crocuses were first.

Narcissi, lithographed by Day & Haghe (1834–1852), with watercolour added. From the Ruskin Collection, presented by Ruskin to the Ruskin Drawing School in 1875.

#BotanicalArt #RuskinCollection #Spring

John Ruskin’s involvement with the *Narcissi* print sits in the wider story of how he built his teaching collection for the Ruskin Drawing School at Oxford. The Ashmolean record shows that this print was **presented by Ruskin to the Ruskin Drawing School in 1875**, and later transferred to the Ashmolean around 1949. 

Ruskin assembled a large collection of prints, drawings, and natural specimens to teach students how to observe nature with accuracy and sensitivity. Botanical prints like this one—clear, detailed, and scientifically grounded—fit perfectly with his educational aims. He believed that careful study of plants trained the eye and cultivated moral attention.

Ruskin chose works that demonstrated high standards of craftsmanship. Day & Haghe were among the most respected lithographers of their time, appointed “Lithographers to the Queen,” and known for technical excellence. Including their work in his collection reflected Ruskin’s emphasis on precision and beauty in instructional materials.

By donating this print in 1875, Ruskin ensured that students had access to a broad visual library. The *Narcissi* plate became part of the pedagogical toolkit he curated—objects students could study, copy, and learn from.

Why this print mattered in Ruskin’s teaching philosophy?
- It exemplified **close observation of nature**, a cornerstone of Ruskin’s artistic and moral teaching.  
- It represented **high-quality reproductive printmaking**, which he valued for its ability to disseminate good art widely.  
- It connected students to **botanical knowledge**, which Ruskin saw as essential to understanding the natural world.

New in: a vintage botanical print celebrating Barbara Regina Dietzsch (1706–1783). Elegant flowers, tiny insects, and that soft parchment-toned background—pure timeless beauty. View it here: https://bit.ly/4achnb4

One of my older flower watercolours, sold a long time ago. Poppies, nettles and Macleaya cordata leaves in a glass jug.

Oriental poppies, nettles and Macleaya cordata leaves, watercolour. I wonder if that Macleaya (plume poppy) will come up this year? It often disappears for a while and then pops up again. It's a lovely plant, not particularly invasive.

A few tropical plant watercolors I made once. Not my usual subject, but learning to paint also means studying the world around us.
