The work presents a year-long journey through the orchid's seasonal rhythms, capturing the delicate beauty and remarkable diversity of these extraordinary flowers through Pugh's masterful artistic eye, accompanied by text from Campbell and David Beardsell and additional drawings by Dailan Pugh, Adriane Strampp, and David Beardsell.\n\nBeyond its botanical significance, this volume stands as a remarkable intersection of fine art and natural history, reflecting Pugh's lifelong dedication to the Australian landscape and its native flora — a dedication that earned him three Archibald Prizes and an OBE. His trademark style, rooted in the earthy textures and muted tones of the bush, brings each orchid to vivid life on the page, transforming scientific observation into genuine artistic expression. For lovers of Australian art, botany, and the natural world alike, A Year of Orchids raises a compelling question: where does art end and nature begin?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572266602715,"sku":"2026100010864-SECONDHAND","price":350.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3c8f43d4-f8b0-4006-b17f-18b4f2afd7ab.png?v=1791166140","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010864-secondhand-a-year-of-orchids-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
