Artist Mary Delany produced thousands of these life-like depictions of flowers in the late 18th century. Although they look like watercolours, they are in fact made from tiny pieces of paper. The idea came to her while staying with her friend Margaret Bentinck. Noticing the similarity between a geranium and a piece of red paper that was on her bedside table, Delany took her scissors and started to imitate the petals. When Bentinck saw the paper flowers she mistook them as real! Read more about these amazing works, and discover other remarkable women from history in our curators’ #InternationalWomensDay blog post – link in bio. The flowers shown here are a French rose, a Chinese hollyhock, a water lily and a Barbados flowerfence.
