GALLERY: The illustrated garden
August 9, 2016
The Gymea lily (<em>Doryanthes excelsa</em>) was introduced into the garden in 1819. This painting by Deirdre Bean forms part of the gardens’ florilegium.
This year, the Royal Botanic Garden Sydney marks its 200th anniversary with the launch of Florilegium – an ambitious painted record of its living plant collections.
