Historic Plants


Each 30x40cm. I got the idea from this when reading about a now-extinct plant called Silphium (look it up - it may be where we got our heart symbol from). It was very difficult to paint a plant which no one alive has ever seen; or maybe that made it easy. Seriously though, the only pic to go off of was a roman coin from north africa.
How many plants affected history? Obviously I could have gone the wheat/rice route, but that's no fun, is it?
