Margaret Meen spent her days painting flowers that looked so real you’d forget they were painted. In 1806 she tucked a bird’s nest behind a mason jar full of tulips, as if the flowers had just been picked and the nest might still hold eggs. Why? She taught botany to British royalty, so she knew how to make science feel like a secret garden. Tap *A Group of Flowers in a Jar and a Bird’s Nest* to see why her watercolors were the Instagram of the 1800s—bright, exact, and quietly alive.
