Viateur quotes:- "There isn't much call in the workplace anymore for botanical illustrations, though they are sparingly used in some scientific research, in a few seed catalogs and publications" Since the late 1800's the RHS has painted orchids which have gained a AM or FCC/ RHS. One of the most famous illustrators was Nelly Roberts, who painted the flower(s), for over a quarter of a century. Peter Fowler
