Flora of the National Parks
United States Botanical Gardens Conservatory West Gallery
To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, this exhibit
showcases plant species and communities of the more than 400 national parks.
From giant redwoods and aspen forests to imperiled ornamental shrubs and water lilies, the parks represent the
diversity of North American flora. Both illustrations and photographs guide your
tour of the beauty and importance of the American flora. This exhibit used digital images to make prints
for the exhibit and does not incorporate original artwork.
Vanessa
Martin, Susan Rubin, and Connie Sayas are representing RMSBA in this national show. If other
members are in the exhibit, send me the images to post here, subject line “Please post NBG show
image.”

Their exquisite pieces make your editor regret not submitting Phoradendron flavescens “American mistletoe” and Arbutus texana “Texas madrone” from the Guadalupe Mountains NP, even though they were tiny miniatures. Those drawings provided fodder for two years’ holiday cards, anyway.
