Variegated Stapelia Botanical Art Print
Brandywine General Store
A striking five-pointed yellow flower, densely patterned with dark reddish-brown spots and streaks, dominates this Variegated Stapelia illustration. Its sculpted petals surround a richly detailed central ring, contrasting with three upright, angular green stems. Fine roots extend beneath the plant, completing a botanical study that is both precise and wonderfully dramatic.
Published as plate 26 in Volume 1 of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine on April 1, 1787, this illustration captures the unusual beauty of a plant also known as the star flower or toad cactus. Its bold spotted bloom makes a distinctive accent for a plant-inspired room or a collection of antique botanical illustrations. Reproduced in archival quality by Brandywine General Store.
