Where vendor and vendee combine practical philanthropy to help fund actions to enjoy, protect, and restore the Mahurangi

Mahurangi Gallery sections:

Sophora tetraptera – kōwhai

Banks’ Florilegium exhibits

Four exhibits, including, sublimely serendipitously, Sydney Parkinson’s kōwhai.
Ipomoea cairica – rarawa

New Zealand botanical and other artworks

Ten exhibits, including this original watercolour by New Zealand’s soaring Audrey Eagle: Ipomoea cairica – rarawa.
Phalaenopsis lüddermannia

Orchid exhibits

Two Walter Hood Fitch prints, including this, his Phalaenopsis lüddermannia, and a modern Alsakan.
Lords and Ladies – Arum maculatum

Medicinal and poisonous plant exhibits

Led by R.M. Stark’s devilishly handsome Lords and Ladies – Arum maculatum, four medicinal and poisonous plant exhibits.
Fritillaria latifolia

Early botanical engravings and prints

Sydenham Edwards’ Fritillaria latifolia, the more affordable of the two Fritillaria exibits of 26 forming the main section of the J Barry Ferguson Fund exhibition.
Florist

Other early engravings and prints

Victor Gabriel Gilbert’s Florist is the standout star of the more-floral-than-botanical, section of the exhibition.
Parisian Studio Scene

Modern plant paintings

Unsurprisingly, Gunvor Bull-Teilman’s Parisian Studio Scene is setting the silent-auction pace, with a bid, $1000 above the minimum, received within hours of this site going live.
HMSS Buffalo off Spar Station Cove

hmss Buffalo off Spar Station Cove, and the magnolia

Commissioned by London Queen’s Counsel Bob Moxon Browne and Mahurangi residents, marine artist Paul Deacon’s superb depiction is the first ever of the Tāmaki Makaurau region’s first Pākehā settlement. Foreground, a Royal Navy storeship directly competing for spars, in 1834.
The Auricula

Twenty treasures from Barry’s library, and a steal

Not only a treasure, but possibly a steal at the minimum bid price of $450, given that Amazon lists this incredibly rare*, 17-Rory-McEwen-plate, 69-page, numbered 500-copy limited edition, at more than twice that in nzd, used, and currently unavailable to boot.
*copy number 170
Dedicated to the democratic mobilisation of meaningful Mahurangi climate action.
