26 Useful Plants, real and imaginary.

This is a series of botanical illustrations of 26 real and imaginary useful plants. Some might be real, some might not be, some might be both. The Agave is both, for instance. I have photos. Cryptobotany might be a relevant link.

I intend to turn the line art portion of these drawings into galvanic etchings, and make prints from those etchings, and hand tint those prints, so what I am posting here are color studies for that. However, if there is interest in the color studies, I may make them available as giclee prints.  I will probably also do a zine or chapbook of the whole project (probably a black and white photocopied kind of thing).
