Cardinal Flower Botanical Art Print
A tall spike of rich scarlet blossoms rises above two textured green leaves in this antique Cardinal Flower illustration. Narrow, pointed petals fan outward from the slender stem, while curved pale flower structures and unopened buds add delicate detail among the red blooms. The open background emphasizes the plant’s graceful vertical form and vivid color.
Identified as Lobelia cardinalis, this botanical study was published in Curtis’s Botanical Magazine, Volume 9, on December 1, 1795. Its simple composition lets the dramatic flower spike take center stage, making it a beautiful accent for a garden-inspired room or a companion to other antique wildflower studies. Reproduced in archival quality by Brandywine General Store.
