Since then, Campions have been artificially cultivated at the Almeda Gibraltar Botanic Gardens and London's Royal Botanic Gardens. Out of the ordinary was created as a digital painting by drawing on a tablet with digital brushes and pencils. This makes the work beautifully printable on any material.
