Prairie Bluebells (Mertensia lanceolata), also known as lanceleaf bluebell, is a perennial wildflower with smooth, lance-shaped leaves and clusters of nodding, bell-shaped flowers that shift from pink buds to sky-blue blossoms. Blooming in spring, it grows in meadows, open woodlands, and rocky slopes across western North America. Collected in mixed conifer forest of the Jemez Mountains in New Mexico.
The plant is mounted on acid-free, high-quality (320 gsm), watercolor paper handmade in India. A collection label is also included with the specimen scientific name, common name, family name, location and date collected. The placement of the collection label varies on each piece, depending on best artistic spacing. Each flower is different, so each botanical sheet is different. The mounted wildflower you receive may look different from the one pictured in this listing.
Sizes available:
A5 size (6×8.5”) - $35
This is an unframed piece ready for you to frame yourself. For a more casual look instead of framing these, I suggest hanging multiple specimens from artistic clothespins on a wire or on clipboards. Read this blog for more ideas to adorn your home with Eufloria’s botanicals.
The plant has been pressed for a minimum of 6 weeks in accordance with professional herbarium standards to maximize the quality and longevity of its color. Please note that, as with all dried plants, these are susceptible to fading or changing color over time. The speed and degree varies from plant to plant, but all will eventually take on a nice vintage look. Keep them out of direct sunlight and moisture to extend their color.
The plants were collected responsibly, sustainably, and honoring nature in the process. See this blog post for more information on my ethics on wildflower collection.
