RHS Lindley Collections Online - Yuko Saito's Celosias

Join RHS Libraries each month as we spotlight treasures and stories from the RHS Lindley Collections with our series of free online talks.

In July we are celebrating the addition of six new paintings to our botanical art collection. Painted by Japanese artist Yuko Saito, this set of watercolours explores the unusual beauty of celosias.

Join our Art Curator as we showcase these impressive RHS Gold medal winning artworks, exhibited by Yuko Saito at the 2024 edition of the RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show.

Discover the inspiration behind the artworks and what it takes to win an RHS medal in botanical art. Plus, explore some of the highlights from this year's exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery.

The RHS Botanical Art and Photography Show is on display at the Saatchi Gallery, Friday 19 June - Sunday 2 August 2026.
