The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Collection 'Florence' linen featured in County Living
We are delighted to have been featured in Country Living two consecutive months (August & September 2012) We love how our Florence linen, hand printed in West London has been styled into a lampshade.
As part of The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew Collection by IVO Prints, Florence is a traditional botanical illustration repeat of an English geranium.
Geraniums bear a long, narrow fruit that is said to be shaped like the bill of a Crane. The origin of the name Geranium stems from the modern Latin geranion, from the Greek geranos meaning 'Crane'.
