Antique Swedish Herbarium - Ranunculus, circa 1908
Not every bloom is preserved in full splendor. Some, like this antique pressed flower, wear their years plainly and beautifully.
Collected in 1908, this Ranunculus once stood with satin-bright petals and a stubborn stem, likely plucked from the edge of a cottage garden or perhaps a patch of wild, untamed field. Time, as it does, has softened her edges and dimmed her color. But what remains is quietly powerful: a delicate silhouette, a stem with intention, the suggestion of what once was.
There’s poetry in restraint. Grace in imperfection.
Understated. And entirely one of a kind.
