Hello everyone, for the last post in the Botanical Beauties series I'm featuring products and packaging that have botanical designs.

As a lover of all things flora and fauna, I think any product with a botanical icon or illustration has a very special feel to it. Whether that's a plain, simple icon or a detailed and delicate repeat pattern, natural elements lend themselves to a wide range of products and designs. From big brands and companies like Cath Kidston and Crabtree & Evelyn to independent brands and companies such as the products of the independent designers featured today.

What are some of your favourite floral or botanical product designs?

Hello everyone, this is my first guest post in a mini series about botanical beauties and the many ways they are 'illustrated'.

Today I've chosen several striking images that have been created in a variety of ways, from original watercolour paintings and digital illustration to prints of original pencil drawings. Botanical/floral designs are very popular at the moment, especially with this time of year too, so I thought it would be fun to show you some inexpensive art that has these themes.

It's variety that I will be focusing on in these posts and these artists from Etsy have many more floral delights for you to find in their shops.

I hope you enjoyed this post, my next post will be about photographic botanical beauties!
