EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Dwarf Pogon Iris (Iris pumila): A Delicate Beauty from the Round Small Collection" 2. Discover the enchanting world of Iris pumila, a diminutive yet captivating member of the Iridaceae family, as depicted in Watercolour No. 36 from the Round Small Collection by Frank Harold Round. This exquisite illustration, created around 1920, is currently held in the esteemed Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London. 3. The dwarf pogon iris, also known as Iris pumila, is a monocotyledonous flowering plant belonging to the order Asparagales and the class Magnoliophyta. This iris species is native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia, thriving in rocky, alpine habitats. 4. Frank Harold Round's Watercolour No. 36 showcases the dwarf pogon iris in all its purple glory. The delicate, fan-shaped flowers, with their distinctive white signal hairs, are arranged atop slender stems, creating a striking contrast against the dark, textured background. 5. Round's illustration is a testament to the artist's mastery of botanical watercolour techniques, capturing the intricacies of the iris's form and the subtle variations in its colouration. The attention to detail, from the veins on the leaves to the delicate filaments of the stamen, is truly remarkable. 6. The Round Small Collection, which includes Watercolour No. 36, spans the years 1878 to 1958 and features a diverse array of botanical subjects. Frank Harold Round, the artist, was a prolific illustrator, known for his meticulous and accurate depictions of various plant species. 7. This image of Iris pumila not only serves as a beautiful addition to any botanical art collection but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of botanical illustration and the natural world's intricate beauty.
