Teylers Museum: Haarlem, Amsterdam
The original watercolours from The Highgrove Florilegium currently form part of an exhibition at Teylers Museum in Haarlem called 'Royal Gardening' focussing on the development of European botanical art in royal gardens from its heyday in 17th Century to the most modern, The Highgrove Florilegium.
Britain's first royal florilegium is exhibited alongside the Hortus Eystettensis of Basilius Besler, the Hortus Regius Honselaerdicensis from the Biblioteca Nazionale in Florence and the Strelizia depicta of Franz Bauer amongst other great European works.
