Cardinal flowers - poster in frame

What do we see in this work of art?

This artwork, printed on a poster in a frame, shows the so-called cardinal flower. It is quite unknown in Europe as it is primarily native to northeastern America. It thrives particularly in swampy areas, where its bright red color immediately catches the eye. The background of the image is a warm and natural brown tone that emphasizes the red of the flowers. In addition to the cardinal flower, white flowers of an unknown plant species can be found in the picture. They soften the strong red/green coloring of the work and add a few delicate color accents. Apparently someone put these plants in a vase, which the shadows in the background tell us. A good choice to brighten up rooms!

Where can this mural hang?

This mural, printed on a poster in a frame, is recommended to every plant lover, especially because of the unknown nature of this plant in our regions. If you take this plant home with you, you will get a little closer to the nature of another continent.
