See spectacular plant images from rare book and art collections at the Sterling Morton Library’s Flora! Illuminated temporary exhibit.

Flora! Illuminated is a non-traditional alphabetical exploration of spectacular plant images from the Suzette Morton Davidson Special Collections of the Sterling Morton Library. Snippets of song lyrics, poetry and prose have been selected to accompany these brilliant images to create a memorable experience for visitors. The exhibit highlights rarely seen artwork and rare books, revealing the extraordinary depth of the library’s collections and of the plant world.
