Blamey was an utterly prolific illustrator of wildflowers. She “contributed all the colour illustrations, amounting to many thousands of paintings, for a succession of distinguished field guides” – all without formal botanical training. “Her watercolour illustrations opened people’s eyes to the beauty of wild flowers at home and throughout Europe. … Her pictures captured the essence of a plant in a way that photography rarely can, and made identification much easier than was previously the case.” – The Guardian (UK)
