🐾 Today’s #OnlineArtExchange theme is Wildlife & the Environment 🌍 From our collection: Waiting for a Prey by Charles Livingston Bull (1874–1932) – a master of wildlife illustration whose art was shaped by his early career in taxidermy.

🌸 July's birth flower is the water lily! Our 139-year-old Nymphaea alba specimen was collected in 1886 at Loch-na-Kenna. Native to Britain, white water lilies support pond life—sheltering frogs, dragonflies & more. Tag a July baby! 💧🐸🌿
