Claude sent me yet another great postcard today!!! It has one of Edward Lear’s very own plant drawing items and a little edwardleary poem she wrote to celebrate our visit to their house.

This one is called Manypeeplia upsidownia. I also like the left one named Piggiawiggia Pyramidalis. That was all drawn in the 1870s in Lear’s nonsense botany. Obviously the guy was dead bored at school…
