I've re-cut this article and added new sources so this might encourage a new editor Victuallers (talk) 22:53, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
Nice job, Victuallers. I also did some copyediting to move this clear of close paraphrasing. Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced. No close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. The current hook ref is AGF, but I'm just wondering if we could try something a little more hooky:- ALT1: ... that Irish botanical artist Lydia Shackleton, who painted over 1500 botanical studies, helpfully taped a genuine pressed flower or leaf to her work for comparison with the painted subject?
