Vintage Shooting Star Flower Botanical Print – 1751 Plantae Selectae Illustration

Some flowers have a delicate elegance, while others seem to capture movement and grace in the most unexpected way. Dodecatheon meadia, also known as Primula meadia or the Shooting Star Flower, is one such plant—its pink petals curve backward, revealing golden centers, almost as if the blooms are frozen mid-flight.

This 18th-century botanical print from Plantae Selectae (1751) beautifully portrays the Shooting Star’s nodding flower clusters, rosette of lush green leaves, and intricate seed details. Native to North America, this wildflower is a favorite in woodland gardens, where its graceful shape and soft colors bring a quiet, natural beauty.

Whether you love botanical history, elegant floral prints, or simply want a piece of nature’s artistry, this vintage illustration is sure to add charm and sophistication to your space.
