Petunia x hybrida
Best known for their showy hybrids, petunias are members of the nightshade family, and are closely related to tobacco. The genus name comes from petun, a Tupian Indian name for tobacco. They are low spreading plants with simple, rounded, downy leaves and large 5-lobed flowers with brightly coloured veins.

Banksia Serrata by David Reynolds.
David is an experienced botanical and natural history artist and teacher. He enjoys painting in rich natural pigments, always looking to achieve a great accuracy within his work. David relies heavily on a combination of good composition, tone and light to achieve a high level of detail of his chosen subject.
His background is in commercial art, graphic design, photography and multimedia. The skills developed in these areas have given him an appreciation for colour, composition and aesthetics. David paints using watercolour and finds the medium exciting and vibrant with its beautiful rich colours and its ‘sometimes unpredictable’ nature. He describes his style as ‘Accurate Realism’ and is always looking to portray his botanical and wildlife subjects with the most accurate detail possible yet doing it in a ‘painterly’ way honouring the watercolour medium.
As part of Australia’s contribution to the World Wide Botanical Art Exhibition held in Canberra in May 2018, David had two Banksia paintings represented – Banksia integrifolia and Banksia serrata.
David is one of the talented and enthusiastic art tutors at the Friends of the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. David conducts face to face classes at Domain House, and an on-line class on Saturday mornings. His on-line classes attract local, regional and international students. Enrolments for Term 2 are open now.
