"Hedgehog Cactus" (Echinocereus Polyacanthus)
By Margaret Armstrong, from the book "Field Book of Western Wild Flowers", 1915.

Margaret Neilson Armstrong was an early 20th-century American designer, illustrator, and author, best known for her Art Nouveau style book covers and most importantly, for the "Field Book of Western Wild Flowers", a book that was published after her journey throughout the Western United States and Canada. An avid naturalist, she discovered several species of flowers that had not yet been identified by botanists. She detailed those and many other species in her book, which with its 550 illustrations, is considered the first comprehensive guide on the subject.

Her illustrations are exquisite in their delicate detail and colours, the forms and stems perfectly imperfect in their curves. The watercolour hues add to the general feeling of understated loveliness of each plant. Gorgeous ♡
