The Temple of Flora, or Garden of Nature: The Pontic Rhododendron

Robert John Thornton

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a large plant with a cluster of purple flowers at the top. The flowers are purple with yellow centers and have many petals. There are two long brown stems supporting the flowers, with large green leaves extending from them. A smaller stem with a bud is visible on the left side. A yellow butterfly with black tips on its wings is flying to the right of the flowers. The background features a blue sky with white clouds and a distant landscape with trees and hills. The image has a beige border around it, and text at the bottom reads "The Pontic Rhododendron".
