Magic Lantern Slide: Flower Studies - Garrya Elliptica
This photographic slide by William Weaver Baker shows a branch and catkins from the Garrya Elliptica, otherwise known as the Silk Tassel bush. This plant flowers between mid-winter and early spring, and the size of the catkins in this photograph suggests it is from a male specimen. Weaver Baker was a keen amateur photographer and produced sets of slides on different themes, this slide being part of a set of 52 flower images.
