Illustrations like this Narcissus Pseudonarcissus L. (wild daffodil) reflect European intellectual thought of the 1600s and 1700s, which emphasized rational knowledge observed in nature. The illustrations are based on the Flora Danica, or “flowers of Denmark,” an encyclopedia of native wildflowers of the kingdom. Claiming each as “native,” however, reflects the research of the time and the agenda of its creators who sought to bolster national pride, spread botanical knowledge, and exploit the benefits of plants.
