As you can imagine, Australian natives captivated me from the very beginning and I knew for a long time I had to create something with them.
I had already created a custom birth flowers print with the generic flowers that are commonly associated with each month, but this time I wanted to go further and be more specific narrowing just Australian natives as they surely deserve their own designs!
