Hortus botanicus Exotic Aliens
Hortus botanicus Exotic Aliens is a series of gouache on paper works that document common invasive alien plants in the short-grass prairie region where I live in Southern Alberta. These plants are classes as “exotic aliens”. Not all alien species become invasive, but these ones have.
