This painting comes from Donald's "Plants Paintings Series" that Donald painted between 1944 and 1978.

Dr. DM Flather was both a talented scientist and accomplished botanist with a keen interest in the natural world including trees, plants and flowers. This bright and cheery floral painting is number 83 in the Plants Series and features bright white blossoms from the Dogwood Tree.

Donald kept a very active greenhouse at his Kerrisdale, Vancouver home on East Boulevard and was one of the original World War II "Victory Garden" creators in the 1940's where he tended a second garden next to the railway tracks across the road from his home on the Boulevard. Donald even tunneled underneath the road to run a water line to keep not only his, but his neighbour's Victory Gardens watered.

The Dogwood Tree is the official tree/ flower of British Columbia.
