The artwork
The story behind the pattern
This pattern was created by botanical artist Lisa Strachan. Much like our world-famous floral biome, known as ‘Fynbos’, it brings together a wide selection of local flower species, including erica, brunsvigia, leucodendron, haemanthus, aloe and moreae.
We love that our local flowers are finally getting the recognition they deserve, making their way not just into our gardens, but into our kitchens and homes too.

About Lisa Strachan
Looking at one of Lisa Strachan’s botanical paintings, one almost has to reach out and touch it to check if it’s real. Lisa’s exquisite watercolour pieces are carefully crafted with meticulous attention to detail, focusing on the many tiny features that bring the subject to life.
Specialising in rare and indigenous plants, Lisa’s aim is to capture the profound details of nature as accurately and scientifically as possible, and, with each new subject, this proves a challenge, time and again. Not forgetting that in order to capture the plant at its absolute best (before it wilts or dies) she has to paint remarkably quickly!
Lisa’s work has been collected and exhibited in South Africa, UK, USA, Europe, Ireland and Australia.
