@claredrinkell @Kew_Asia Beautiful!! Though it’s bothering the curator sensibilities within me, the fact it’s mounted as a mixed collection 😬😁. I wonder if they were growing together or placed together for artistic reasons?
@claredrinkell @Kew_Asia Miss Banbury or Bunbury? Bunbury is not only the name of a town on the coast south of Perth but also, not surprisingly, the name of some of the settlers in the region from England. Very artistic nonetheless.
