Israel Florilegium

The Israel Florilegium* album contains illustrations of Israel’s wildflowers by two British painters from the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, England. The two illustrators, Mary Anderson Grierson and Heather Wood, drew nearly 400 flowers for the campaign to save Israel’s wildflowers in the 1970s.

For fifty years, the beautiful paintings were lost. Last year, they were rediscovered in the Nature and Parks Authority armory.

Discover the unparalleled beauty and rich heritage of the wildflowers of the Land of Israel with the Israel Florilegium. This exquisite album combines science, history, and art in a breathtaking compilation of 220 flowers, meticulously documented and illustrated to inspire awe and wonder.
