The Grootbos Florilegium
Celebrating Our Floral Heritage Through Art
FLORILEGIUM (flôrəˈlējēəm), n. a collection of illustrations featuring plants from a specific garden or region.
The Grootbos Florilegium is a unique collection of botanical illustrations by a collaboration of local and international artists. The collection depicts the rare, endangered and charismatic plants of the Cape Floral Kingdom that can be found on Grootbos Private Nature Reserve and its surrounding regions. What makes the collection even more distinctive is the inclusion of insects, pollinators and other creatures associated with the flora of the fynbos.
