This listing is for a real pressed plant and botanical specimen. Inspired by herbarium specimens, it is an artistic presentation of Scarlet beeblossom (Gaura coccinea), also known as scarlet gaura, is a perennial wildflower with slender stems and bright red, four-petaled flowers that flutter in the breeze like delicate butterflies. Its long-blooming flowers attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, providing an important nectar source in prairies, meadows, and open woodlands. The plant’s narrow, lance-shaped leaves form a low rosette, adding subtle greenery to its native habitats. Collected in the mixed conifer forests in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico.
It 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
A4 size (8.25×11.75”) - $45
This is an unframed piece ready for you to frame yourself. If you would like me to frame it, please contact me about a custom order. 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.
