Here are two vintage illustrations of familiar garden flowers. The first is a printable illustration of an iris. The illustration features a beautiful iris flower that has yellow top petals with white and magenta varigated bottom petals. A single leaf is in the background, directly behind the iris. The title “Iris” appears below the flower. The illustration is on a white background.
The second is a printable vintage illustration of a crimson petunia. The illustration features two crimson red colored petunias in full bloom, attached to a sprig of green leaves. The title “Crimson Petunia” appears below the flower. The illustration is on a white background.
I scanned the original images from a book titled Familiar Garden Flowers, circa 1897, by F. Edward Hulme.
