BOTANICAL FLOWER IMAGES

These beautiful antique art images are full size printables in PDF format.  Perfect for instant artwork!

1)   1880’s Lavender Botanical Printable.   This antique print is Circa 1880′s and has lovely purple flowers with delicate green leaves.  Lavender flower images are so difficult to find, and this would be perfect framed as artwork or made in to labels or jewelry.
2)   Daisy Botanical.  This is a very sweet Botanical Print from the 1850′s! I’m calling it a daisy because that’s what it looks like to me, with white petals and bright yellow center, however the caption calls it a White Ox Eye, so there you have it!
3)   Pink Camellia Botanical.  This gorgeous botanical is a lovely pink Camellia print, which dates to around the mid to late 1800′s.  The numerous petals add so much depth to this beautiful pink bloom with dark green leaves.
4)   Patch of Morning Glories Botanical.  This is a wonderful antique print of some glorious looking Morning Glories!  The image shows a patch in full bloom with several blue tones, a white one, and a striped hybrid.

6)   Red and White Amaryllis Botanical.  An extraordinarily beautiful Red Amaryllis 1878 Botanical print from my collection.  The red petals are so bright and lovely on this print.  This one is perfect framed for some instant Christmas art.
7)   Red Cabbage Rose Botanical.  This red rose botanical printable is the best one that I have ever found!  The deep red flower image dates back to 1883 and was painted by Charles Lefebvre.

9)   Variety to Pink and White Primroses Botanical.  This is a wonderful antique Botanical print!! The print dates to the late 1800′s and shows some beautiful flowers, I believe they are Primroses. I love the mix of colors (red, pink, white, and light pink) and the ruffled looking petals.
10)   Water Lily Botanical.  This Pink Egyptian Water Lily includes an open bloom and a closed one, in addition to the leaves.
