H is for Hibiscus.
There are several hundred different Hibiscus flowers, all are stunning in nature and attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds. All are native to warm, tropical and subtropical regions. In Victorian floriography the Hibiscus symbolises acknowledging the recipients delicate beauty.
The Botanical Alphabet is inspired by old scientific botanical illustrations and categories of olden day Explorers and Naturists. Paired with modern outlined sans serif letters and bold colour blocks, it has a much more contemporary feel while still keeping a hint of the much loved illustration genre of the past.
The Botanical Alphabet series is also available as greeting cards, so you can send a very personal card for any occasion featuring your friend’s initial.
Dusty rose, deep burgundy, warm white, sage green, and cool charcoal – these are the five colours that define this print, and they make it unusually easy to place on a wall. The dusty rose of the bold letter H sits warmly against most mid-tone backgrounds: a soft blush or warm off-white wall lets the rose tones breathe in a tonal, analogous scheme, while sage or muted olive picks up the green of the hibiscus stems for a similarly harmonious read. For those who want more contrast, the deep burgundy triangle at the base of the composition is strong enough to carry a pairing with a cooler, darker wall – a dusky plum or slate grey that echoes the charcoal linework without competing with the botanicals. Rooms with natural light suit it particularly well: a bedroom where the blush tones feel restful, a home study where the bold letterform adds focus, or a nursery or child’s room where the alphabet theme lands with a quiet sense of delight. This print belongs to the Botanical Alphabet collection, a series that fuses vintage scientific illustration with clean, modern sans-serif typography and vivid colour blocks – what the artist describes as "a marriage of the old and the new." It pairs naturally with neighbouring letters from the same series for a gallery wall that spells out initials, a name, or simply accumulates into something beautiful. As a gift, it is especially well suited to new parents, nature lovers, or anyone with a fondness for considered, illustrative design.
Printed on Enhanced Matte art paper, a smooth gallery-grade stock using archival pigment inks, the surface is soft and glare-free in a way that feels museum-grade without being precious – it works equally well in a slim oak or black frame and inside something more ornate and gilded. The A4 (21 × 29.7 cm) and A3 (29.7 × 42 cm) sizes suit shelf displays, desk arrangements, or a compact gallery wall where several letters from the collection sit side by side; the A2 (42 × 59.4 cm) holds its own as a single statement piece above a bedside table or reading chair; and the A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm) has the presence to anchor a full wall, particularly in a hallway or living room where the burgundy block and the bold H read confidently from a distance. This print is also available as a 28 × 40 inch (70 × 100 cm) canvas print, ready to hang with no frame needed.
