Rudbeckia Purple or Cone Flower Botanical Art Print
An archival premium Quality Botanical Art Print of the Purple Rudbeckia or Cone Flower as it is better known today for sale by Brandywine General Store. This botanical drawing originally appeared in The Botanical Magazine in the latter part of the 18th century around 1786. The picture shows a large single purple bloom on a stalk, with a large inset of another leaf in the front. This flower was originally described by Curtis as being a native of the warm climates of Carolina and Virginia, however it succeeds very well with us in England in the open border, but it is always prudent to shelter two or three plants under a hot bed frame through the winter, to preserve the kind, because in very severe winters they are sometimes killed. Flowers in July. Botanical art print #50
