Bonnell spent several weeks at the Yale Center for British Art in 2012, looking carefully at Miss Rowe's box of botanical specimens and making drawings directly from the work of the nineteenth-century amateur botanist. Wild flowers worth notice is the result of her studies. Its title honors Phebe Lankester's nineteenth-century field guide of the same name.
Each of the eight packets contains four sheets of drawings, treating a single species of plant. Some of the drawings also incorporate cut-paper elements. Bonnell identifies five of the species, as follows: Equisetaceae (Horsetail); Ulmaceae; Polypodiaceae; Myricaceae (Bayberry); Hydrocharitaceae. One of the three unidentified species may be dandelion.
"I would like to say thanks to Elisabeth Fairman, Senior Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts, Yale Center for British Art, for the unique opportunity to respond to Miss Rowe's 1961 Herbarium held in their collection; Graham Bignell, New North Press, for hand set typography and printing; Elizabeth Neville for making the box. Mandy Bonnell, 2014."--Colophon.
