Because I missed Mimpish Monday...

Here's a photo of a Reginald Farrer watercolor. I don't think I've posted it before. It's one of twelve from E. H. M. Cox, The Plant Introductions of Reginald Farrer, currently sitting atop my file cabinet but going back to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society library today. Unsurprisingly, I now have images of the entire book, most taken with my iPhone. This is Cremanthodium delavayi. I love the way Farrer paints the landscape and the companion flowers -- the blue corydalis and the white I-don't-know-what. Click the image to embiggen.

Yes, I like the way his eye sees the entire landscape.

I like that also...the bigger picture he saw.
