Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita (1868-1944) was nicknamed ‘Man of Artis’. He was a Dutch graphic artist and lived to draw in de gardens of the zoo but als at the @hortusamsterdam . His favourites were Aloes and cacti. So an ideal feature for our Saturday’s #inspiredbyhortus. De Mesquita’s work is now on exhibit at @villamondriaan (a nice small museum in Winterswijk).

Autumn vines all over. There is so much special to be found in our garden. Like this Physalis alkekengi or Chinese lantern. Did you know that this is also a very old plant, with fossils dating to the Pleistocene an Pliocene?
