Floral Emblems Art Card - Sturt Pea (SA)
One of Australia's best known wildflowers, the striking Sturt Pea (Swainsona formosa) is one of Australia's nine magnificent floral emblems. Famous for its distinctive blood-red leaf-like flowers, the floral emblem of South Australia, the Sturt Pea was first collected by seafarer William Dampier from Rosemary Island in the Dampier Archipelago off the coast of Western Australia in 1699. The original specimen is held at the Sherardian Herbarium in Oxford, England.

BEHIND THE DESIGN
Nine flowers,
one Australian story.
Meryl created the Floral Emblems series with an ambitious idea in mind: to make these nine paintings a definitive artistic representation of Australia’s national, state and territory floral emblems. Each flower was given its own presence, captured with extraordinary attention to colour, form and detail.
Together, the works became Meryl’s ode to Australia through its flowers, nine individual emblems united in one elegant and spectacular series.
MADE FOR YOUR MESSAGE
Blank inside.
Made with care.
Flowers have a way of expressing so much, from joy and gratitude to love, sympathy and appreciation. Bell Art Floral Emblems cards are left blank inside, giving you the freedom to make the message entirely your own, whatever the occasion.
Designed and made in Australia using eco-friendly papers and inks, the cards, envelopes and packaging are recyclable. And their connection to Australian flora goes further than the artwork, with part proceeds from every Bell Art purchase supporting the Australian Flora Foundation and its research into our native plants.
