A Flora Escape by Poetry Lane

During this challenging time, we questioned whether to move forward with our launch of Poetry Lane.  We thought hard and felt we could make a difference in our efforts.  The designs in this collection take us away and dream of a tropical seaside, bringing a pop of colour and whimsey into any space.  For this collection, we are offering free standard shipping.  And for the rest of 2020, 20% of all sales proceeds from this collection will be donated to Feeding America in their Covid-19 Response Fund.   ​​

A Flora Escape
In a Flora Escape, we run away with post-impressionist Paul Gauguin as we journey to a tropical seaside, in search of the rarest of exotic orchids.  The setting is pastoral and paints the Tahitian Mountains in strokes that evoke a slower pace, yet colorful in surroundings. The vibrant tones of island life in French Polynesia come to life in verdant greens, canary yellows, paprika orange, and jewel tone lavender.   With deeper inspection, the flora of the surroundings bloom with exotic varieties of orchids in the jungle. In meticulous detail, illustrators John Nugent Fitch and Gertrude Hamilton capture specimens in painted botanical plates that were published by Robert Warner and Benjamin Samuel Williams in The Orchid Album between 1872 and 1897.  Using the latest graphical applications, works have been digitally remastered and rendered into dreamy patterns, celebrating the beauty of a tropical oasis. ​
