With her keen eye for detail and love for the natural world, Walcott brings to life an array of stunning flora through her exquisite artwork. In "Hearts Bustin with Love, " also known as Strawberry Bush (Euonymus Americanus), Walcott captures the delicate beauty of this native shrub, its vibrant red fruits bursting forth with love. Dating back to 1930, this piece showcases her mastery in capturing intricate details that make each plant unique. Another masterpiece by Walcott is "Viola palustris, " created around 1917-1918. This watercolor painting portrays the enchanting marsh violet in all its glory, showcasing its dainty purple petals against a backdrop of lush green foliage. Walcott's talent extends beyond flowers alone; she also immortalizes woodland treasures like Wood Merrybells (Uvularia perfoliata). Through her brushstrokes, she conveys the elegance and gracefulness of these bell-shaped blooms that hang delicately from their slender stems. One cannot help but be captivated by "White Dawnrose" (Pachyloplus marginatus), an undated creation that radiates purity and serenity. Its pristine white petals seem to glow against a dark background, reminding us of nature's ability to create moments of tranquility amidst chaos. The whimsical Hairy Phlox (Phlox amoena) takes center stage in another one of Walcott's masterpieces from the early 1930s. Its vibrant pink blossoms dance across the page, exuding joy and vitality—a testament to both the artist's skill and Mother Nature's creativity. Delving further into Walcott's collection reveals untitled flower studies dating back to 1876.
