Deadly Sunshade (Parasolia Spikeii. ) - A Comic Twist on Botanical Illustration
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this whimsical illustration from "The Bogus Book of Botany" artist John Weir takes us on a humorous journey into the world of flora. The Deadly Sunshade, or Parasolia Spikeii, is an extraordinary creation that challenges our expectations of what a flower should be. Weir's ink-on-paper masterpiece showcases a fantastical plant with parasols instead of traditional petals. These vibrant and spikey umbrellas add a touch of comic charm to the botanical scene, as if these flowers are ready to shield themselves from an unexpected downpour. With its thorny stem and playful spikes, the Deadly Sunshade becomes both captivating and amusing. Weir's attention to detail shines through in every stroke, bringing life to this imaginary species that could only exist within the pages of his book. This delightful drawing invites us to question our preconceived notions about nature while reminding us not to take everything too seriously. It serves as a gentle reminder that even in the realm of botany, there is room for creativity and laughter. As we admire this unique floral creation captured by Bridgeman Images, let it inspire us to embrace imagination and find joy in unexpected places – just like Weir did when he brought this charming yet fictitious Deadly Sunshade to life nearly a century ago.
