Vintage Swedish Herbarium - Common Bugloss, circa 1932

$295.00

Some of the loveliest botanical discoveries are the ones found where you least expect them. This Common Bugloss was gathered along a roadside in Helsingborg, the historic coastal city of southern Sweden, where the countryside and the sea have long met at the edges of everyday life.

A particularly beautiful and unusual specimen, it has an elegant form and lovely color, with blue and aubergine flowers rising along its graceful stem. Common Bugloss often grows along roadsides, dry fields, and open ground, bringing an unexpected touch of beauty to places made for passing through rather than stopping.

Perhaps it was the unusual form and striking color that caused someone to pause and gather it. Carefully pressed and preserved, this little roadside discovery has endured as a charming reminder that some of nature's most beautiful treasures are found entirely by chance.
