Unexpected sign at the Cranbourne Botanical Gardens
I don't think that I have ever seen a sign concerning a botanic artist.
It even includes a reference to Ferdinand Bauer - not well known - who accompanied Matthew Flinders in his famous journey round Australia in the early 19th century.
There are many memorials on my peninsula to Matthew Flinders - he landed here in several places - but I don't recall any memorial to Bauer.
The art of detail
Historical glimpse of Nature
Fine accuracy

Give credit where credit is due! It's nice to pay homage to the artist!
I hadn't ever thought about the talent needed for this job and how much we need and use their work.
Another unusual sign!
A good idea to give credit where credit is due.
a good botanic artist is a true artist. to copy nature is an impossible task.
Signs
these artists deserve a lot of respect for their fine, detailed work.
I bet some people now forget that they are hand drawn and think it is all computer-generated.
What a lovely sign. I have never heard of a botanic artist but it would make sense that there are some around and about. genie
lovely sign
Their talent is a true gift.
