Beckler's Botanical Bounty

My photo
Beckler
A group of botanical artists are celebrating the work of Dr. Hermann Beckler, the botanical collector who was a Member of the Victorian Exploring Expedition on its famous journey across the continent more than 150 years ago. We are collecting and painting some of the same plants as Beckler did in September - October 1860. As botanical artists we aim to revive interest for research in the plant sciences. More detailed information can be found on the blog page 'About Beckler's Botanical Bounty'.
