Prudence Roeser, Wonderful Antique Theorem Watercolor with Collaged Notes from Gardener's Notebook old wooden folding box 9 1/2" x 6 3/4"I think this is just gorgeous, and also love the fact that it seems to have been painted with a purpose: I presume this was done on a page in a gardener's notebook, given the collaged bits of information about rose bush species below it and some handwritten notes, too, including what looks to me to read $4. 00 a bush and "good for the house." Wouldn't it be nice to imagine a group of these were planted there and bloom on still? Super lush green
