The only member of the dogwood family that grows as a ground cover, nature lovers know the bunchberry as clusters of white flowers covering the forest floor. The four white bracts appear to be petals, but they are not. They surround clusters of tiny dark flowers that explode into the air when mature and spread seeds in this unusual airborne manner. The flowers mature into clusters of red berries, giving it the popular name, Bunchberry. But in this painting, it's the marvelous painted box turtle catching everyone's attention. The turtle is well grounded, reliable and steadfast, as is the earth energy of the bunchberry.

That is the mystery and magic of Jean Herzel's Flower Spirit Collection paintings inspired by dreams of the plant spirits. One of the first to be released as a giclee print, the image measures 15" X 19½" unframed. It is printed with fine quality inks on archival paper. The limited edition size is 150 and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

By popular request, Jean is now offering a smaller print version, created to the same archival standards as the larger ones. This print measures approximately 11" X 15" unframed and is limited to an edition of 100. It is the perfect size to frame in a standard 16" X 20" frame, making framing affordable.
