A find so special it actually brought me to tears. Over 100 botanical pressings from the 1880’s of native northeast plants and wildflowers that had been stashed in a cabinet in a NH estate and have not seen the light of day in 100 years. Collected and documented by one New Hampshire woman who was her in 20’s at the time. So many of these pressings are of native plants I’ve loved and observed in the forests around NH since I was a child. The awe I feel when coming across a lady slipper in the woods is just as pure now as it was when I was a child and as it was when I opened these folders and saw this perfectly pressed native lady slipper from nearly 150 years ago. A handful of her specimens were collected at other sites in the northeast when she was traveling to teach - one of those places being a small town in NJ where my mother was born and where my great grandparents had a dairy farm… what are the odds! There is such magic in surrounding ourselves with these little pieces of history.
