Hi! I just came across your blog via India Flint's. Wanted to let you knoe that I saw a fantastic show, which has been touring the NT. I saw it in Alice Springs last year, and it is currently showing at the 'Museum for Economic Botany' in hte Adelaide Botanical gardens. Realy beautiful botanical-inspired art. You might know of it already if you are a Darwinite? Anyway, here is the link...http://www.abgf.org/events/special-events/replant-a-new-generation-of-botanical-art (Also, I'm assuming you know about John Woolsley's work?)
