Did you know it was called a Herbarium?

Did you know it was called a Herbarium?

A few years ago, I added prints of my Aunt Lisa’s preserved botanical specimen to the shop.  I called them Botanicals.  When we were in France, we stayed at a country estate for a few nights - they had these everywhere, almost in each room (photos below).  I learned that they are actually called an “Herbarium.”

Imagine my embarrassment!

I have rectified the situation and upgraded them.  Not only do the originals hang more prominently in our living room, but I have added stylized labels like those I saw in France to our reproduction prints now available in the shop.
