The Pelargonium Project
As part of my internship at Hortus Leiden, I created a series of around 20 botanical pen illustrations of Pelargonium seeds for a scientific research project. The aim was to support the development of a seed recognition chart to help distinguish between different species based on seed characteristics. Working closely with a researcher, I studied the seeds under a microscope and illustrated them at accurate sizes and proportions, highlighting their unique individual features with precision and care.
