Poison Garden
Set of 4
A quietly dramatic gallery wall drawn from European botanical history. These four plants belong to the long tradition of the poison garden, plants admired for their beauty and feared in equal measure, each carrying centuries of folklore and pharmacy in its leaves.
Belladonna takes its name from the Renaissance Italian for beautiful lady, after the Venetian custom of using its drops in the eye. Foxglove is the storied cottage garden bloom that gave its name to digitalis. Opium poppy was called the joy plant by the Sumerians four thousand years ago. Monkshood, named for its hooded blue flower, runs through Norse and medieval legend.
A set of four Koehler botanical posters printed from the 1887 atlas. Suited to a study, library or reading nook, or as a complete dark academia gallery wall for a home that loves a quietly literary atmosphere.
