One Forget-Me-Not Turns the Whole Page Into a Specimen Card
A root-and-stem watercolor forget-me-not with handwritten numbering — like a page torn straight from an old botanical field guide.
✍️ The information density here lives in the labeling system — the numbering, plate number, and pencil annotations matter more for that 'scientific' feel than how prettily the flower itself is painted. Whether the viewer believes it's from an old book rests entirely on these marginal details.

Scientific field-plate poster on cream stock, dominated by one oversized [flower: forget-me-not] rendered in watercolor — full plant, roots included, with tiny numbered labels tracking stem and petal anatomy. Serif italic title reads "FORGET-ME-NOT" across the top, subtitle "A FIELD PLATE" beneath it, and along the bottom, "[plate number: PLATE VII · 1887]". Margins carry handwritten pencil annotations. Palette limited to cream, indigo and green. Aspect ratio 2:3.
