Bronze Fennel Seeds Art Pack

Where art and horticulture meet.

Seeds:  In Greek myth, humans receive the gift of fire from Prometheus, who uses a dried fennel stalk to conceal an ember from Mount Olympus. Bright yellow blooms appear at maturity, attracting swallowtail butterflies and other pollinators. Enjoy this variety as an ornamental or harvest the fragrant leaves and sweet, anise-flavored seeds for meals. 

Specific:  Foeniculum vulgare.

Artist, Leo Covault is inspired by historical fashion, folk tales and shadow puppets. In this theatrical, mixed media illustration, he tells the story of Prometheus stealing fire in a stem of smoky, bronze fennel.
