Toxic flowers

Meet Virginie Aladjidi, an author and illustrator whose work breathes life into the traditional arts. From the pages of children’s books to botanical watercolors for community gardens, her brush captures the delicate soul of nature. Inspired by a gift of antique herbarium plates discovered in a historic agricultural school, Virginie invites us into her own ‘illustrated herbarium’. Guided by her memories of long walks, she reveals a world of flowers that are as toxic as they are beautiful.
