Almost everyone has heard the term Temple of Flora, but do you know where the name came from? It was a British botanical publication printed in London in 1799 by Dr. Robert Thornton. They were possibly the finest publication of botanical prints ever produced. Picturing large beautiful plants usually with a folly or a Greek ruins in the background. So I named my blog after my passion of collecting Temple of Flora antique prints. On occasion I will go over some of the prints I collect, from Thornton to Volckamer to Redoute. But mainly my blog will be about exterior design projects.
