Just Bees and Things and Flowers II

80 cm x 28 cm

British wildflower meadows are under threat with 97% disappearing since the 1930s.

It is not only sad to lose the beauty of these meadows, but without the shelter and food they provide for important pollinators, like bees, moths and butterflies, the food that we eat is also under threat.

Reminiscent of the local nature reserves visited last summer, this monoprint features some of the many flowers that were in bloom. There were wild Orchids, Umbellifers, such as Fennel and Wild Carrot, which are loved by hoverflies, Scabious and Knapweed, which is a huge favourite of many butterflies, including the Marbled White, and Agrimony which is a good bee plant, a caterpillar food plant of the Grizzled Skipper butterfly and has seeds that are loved by finches.

Monoprint.
