In homage to the beauty of the botanical world’s most bizarre flora, the New York Botanical Garden invited members of the American Society of Botanical Artists to participate in a study of the eccentric, creating works of art based on visually unusual plants chosen by the artists themselves.
The results of their efforts — 46 paintings and illustrations of exotic specimens — on display in the Ross Gallery at the garden, 2900 Southern Boulevard, Bronx, New York, New York.
“Weird, Wild and Wonderful” runs through September 21, 2014.
