The theme for this year's Botanica exhibition, 'The Art of Disguise and Deception', explores how plants and wildlife use mimicry, camouflage and trickery to survive and thrive.
The artworks include a variety of depictions of mimicry and deception, including the tiger orchid, which fools male wasps into spreading its pollen; the blue-spotted sun orchid, which grows near the native iris, stealing their pollinators away; or the Venus fly trap, which clamps its jaw-like structure over unsuspecting insects.
Explore the hidden world of Botanica in the newly renovated Garden Gallery. All works for sale.
Entry by donation.
Artworks used for promotion by Judy Morris, Melinda Edstein, Cathy Gray and Diane Emery.
