Antique Swedish Herbarium - Rose, circa 1908
Collected circa 1908, this specimen of Potentilla tormentilla commonly known as Tormentil which belongs to the rose family (Rosaceae), though its appearance is modest and unassuming.
Pressed with care, this antique pressed flower displays the fine, lobed leaves and delicate four-petaled blooms characteristic of the species. Once found in dry grasslands and heath, Tormentil was long valued in folk medicine for its astringent properties, though here, it is preserved purely for its botanical simplicity and quiet charm.
The faded rose tones speak softly of its past life—ephemeral, yet enduring in its pressed form.
Soulful. A preserved trace of the European wild.
