Description
Garden companions have been photographed on a light box and then manipulated with a digital pencil. Image inspired by Mr. Marshals's Flower Book which contains illustrations that are 300 years old. Aquilegia (Columbine) is a genus of about 60-70 species of perennial plants that are found in meadows, woodlands, and at higher altitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere, known for the spurred petals of their flowers.Delphinium is a genus of about 300 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native throughout the Northern Hemisphere and also on the high mountains of tropical Africa. The common name "larkspur" is shared between perennial Delphinium species and annual species of the genus Consolida. Molecular data shows that Consolida, as well as another segregate genus, Aconitella, are both embedded in Delphinium. The name "delphinium" derives from the Latin for "dolphin", referring to the shape of the nectary.
