Weird and Wonderul Botanical Art Exhibition

The Friends of Ballarat Botanical Gardens, Ballarat Botanical Artists have been working steadily on their paintings for the Weird and Wonderful exhibition in September.

These plants and fungi, chosen by the artists are grown in Australia, and some have been illustrated in an enlarged format to show the specific strange or unusual features of the plant. Exhibition to be held at the Robert Clark Centre, Ballarat Botanical Gardens.

Some of these plants will be weird, some will be wonderful and some will be both Weird and Wonderful. By definition certain plant species have unusual appearance; these plants can look odd, strange, and bizarre. Such plants are sometimes grown in the garden as specimen plants because they quickly catch our attention due to their unusual yet sometimes attractive looks.
