Parasites on Beech Trees, Chili 1880

"Parasites on Beech Trees, Chili" is an 1880 botanical painting by Marianne North (1830–1890). The painting depicts a vibrant scene of a Chilean forest, with a focus on the vibrant orange, yellow, and red blossoms of the "Parasite" on a beech tree, alongside a trailing white moss. The detail and vivid colors of the flowers and foliage make the painting feel almost like a photographic study, showcasing North's skill as a botanical artist.
