The April showers are over, and the May flowers are now in full bloom. We suggest bringing those May flowers indoors with some of our amazing, and amazingly varied, floral art.

For your dining room, we suggest a formal floral arrangement, or perhaps a still life with flowers. We have a traditional set of twelve months of flowers, from which you can choose the months that best fit your dining room’s theme—or perhaps you want to choose the months of each family member’s birthdays. We also have traditional, classical vases of flowers as well as Asian floral arrangements.

In the kitchen, we suggest you focus on edible flowers, which include a surprisingly large number of blooms, such as carnation, chive, gardenia, gladiolus, hollyhock, mallow, nasturtium, pansy, and violet. These will brighten up your kitchen and remind you to think outside your comfort zone when cooking! (We also suggest that you research carefully before including any flower petals in your diet, as you would any new food.)

For the master suite, we suggest roses, as these are closely associated with love. We have single, long stemmed roses as well as abundant bouquets. Remember that rose colors have special meanings, so in addition to the traditional red of love, you can choose white in remembrance of your marriage, or orange to remind your beloved of the passion you still hold for him or her. You can also recall your youthful love by choosing a piece like The First Rendezvous.

If you have a study, we suggest hanging some of our botanical drawings of flowers, or some of Steven N. Meyers’ amazing x-ray prints, which reveal everyday flowers in an amazing new light.

The possibilities truly are endless for incorporating floral art into your home at any time of year, so check out the amazing blossoms we have available to brighten the rooms of your home!

Amazing Inner Beauty of Floral Art Revealed with X-Ray Photography

by Fulcrum Gallery Staff 28. April 2012 10:23

Whether you most enjoy the simplicity of an unfolding Triumph Tulip, the graceful lines of a Callasilver, or the intricate structures of a Japanese Lantern, you'll be truly amazed by the delicate inner beauty that is revealed in the floral art found in our X-ray Botanicals series by Steven N. Meyers.

Japanese Lanters

"The earliest floral radiographs were created over 70 years ago, and even today there are only a few radiographic artists in the world. It is my intention to keep the art form alive with new and exciting images and I am committed to seeking out interesting subjects in nature."

-- Steven N. Meyers

The combination of scientific technique and true artistry of these exquisite museum-quality prints will astound art-lovers and casual observers alike.

"Steven N. Meyers is not a botanist, but his photographs might suggest otherwise. Trained as a medical X-ray technologist, Meyers has applied radiography techniques to botanic specimens, capturing the details, and structural relationships of a plant that are otherwise unseen."

-- From Anna Laurent of GardenDesign

And from Merrill C. Raikes, MD:

"The composition, form, drama of lighting, and overall balance make an image powerful and pleasing. A mood is created, evoking a feeling of beauty. With the x-ray print, the viewer becomes excited about the exacting detail and depiction of delicacy and complexity of structure. The complicated framework upon which the whole is spread becomes lush and evocative." 

-- From "Floral Radiography: Using X rays to Create Fine Art," RadioGraphics, Merrill C. Raikes, MD 

With over 160 fine-art prints in our X-ray Botanicals series, there is sure to be something for everyone -- and this fascinating collection isn't limited to floral art alone, it also features breathtaking images of the beach and intriguing sea creatures.

Of course, to complement this unique line of floral photography, we offer more traditional forms of trees and contemporary floral art, as well.
