The vibrant beauty of the carnation flower is captured in this stunning collection of illustrations from various corners of the world. Starting with a Marsh Daisy, also known as Armeria maritima, found along the coast at Doolin in County Clare, Ireland, we are transported to the rugged landscapes of Europe. The delicate pink petals stand out against the backdrop of the majestic sea. Moving on to Victorian botanical illustrations, we encounter Savine and Clove Carnations. These intricate drawings showcase the fine details and exquisite colors that make these flowers so beloved. The combination of savine and clove creates a captivating aroma that lingers in our senses. Traveling further east to Bali, Indonesia, we discover cloves growing on a clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum). This spice has been treasured for centuries for its rich flavor and medicinal properties. Its association with carnations adds an extra layer of intrigue to this tropical paradise. Returning to Victorian times through another illustration from the 19th century, we witness yet another depiction of carnations alongside glasswort (Salicornia), seblite (Scleranthus), knawel (Centaurea nigra), and saltwort (Salsola kali). These plants were not only admired for their beauty but also valued for their diverse uses in traditional medicine. Venturing back into Europe again, specifically Mizen Head Peninsula in West Cork, Republic of Ireland, we encounter Thrift or Sea-pink (Armeria maritima). This hardy wildflower thrives along coastal cliffs and adds a touch of color to these dramatic landscapes. Continuing our exploration through Victorian botanical illustrations brings us face-to-face with an array of wildflowers and medicinal herbal plants. Each drawing showcases nature's bounty while highlighting its healing properties. Heading across continents to the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean region reveals Seagrape and Baygrape trees (Coccoloba uvifera).
