Kew has a gallery dedicated to the paintings of the remarkable Victorian artist Marianne North, who had a great eye for botanical detail. She set out in 1871 on a painterly progress through world flora. North’s journey to South Africa was among her last, along with trips to the Seychelles and Chile.THE FINAL WORD.
