'Flora Cubana' Francisco Sauvalle

A botanical illustration by Ramon de la Sagre, genus Davilla Since starting as an Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the Garden’s Humanities Institute in September, I’ve worked almost entirely remotely, relying on the Garden’s excellent collection of digitized sources to continue my research into the intersection of science and political power in Cuba. From my apartment in Brooklyn, I’ve been able to examine a report written by the new director of Havana’s botanical garden in 1825; albums and field notes documenting Nathanial Lord and Elizabeth Knight Britton’s expeditions to Cuba in the first decades of the 20th century; and a beautiful set of photographs of Cuba created by Brother Marie-Victorin in the 1930s and ’40s.

They are, apparently, among the easiest and most reliable flowering plants, so I can only conclude that I lack so much as a green fingernail. But at this time of year I can enjoy the peonies in everyone else’s garden. I am also lucky enough to live within walking distance of the National Botanic Gardens, where I can visit the results of superior horticultural expertise.
