The Broom Cactus (1815-1819)

Sydenham Edwards (English, 1768–1819)

Spiky arms stretch upward, each rib lined with sharp yellow spines. Delicate pink flowers bloom unexpectedly from the harsh, angular form—a desert survivor dressed in unlikely finery. The watercolor’s precise strokes trace every thorn and petal, revealing beauty in the bristling.

Emil August Göldi (Swiss, unknown)
