This post is for the desk plants we forgot.
“Hedgehog Cactus (Coryphantha arizonica),” 1933, is by Mary Vaux Walcott, who started experimenting with painting flowers when she got a set of watercolor paints at age 8. Walcott spent summers climbing mountains, studying natural science and recording what she saw in drawings and photographs.
She married Smithsonian Secretary Charles Walcott in 1914. The couple stayed in the Canadian Rockies for a few months each summer, where he did geological and paleontological research and she painted hundreds of watercolor studies of native flowers.
The Smithsonian published a five-volume set of her work, and nearly 800 of her botanical illustrations like this one are in our @americanart. #BecauseOfHerStory
