I found this calendar in a second-hand bookshop (this lovely place) a while ago and had to buy it – even though it's a calendar for 1994.
Each page features a watercolour painting of New Zealand native plants, and there is a small blurb on the back about the artist:
In 1942, Marjorie Henderson left her birth place Napier to go nursing in Wellington, then later in Fiji where she was married.
For more than 10 years, she has operated her acupuncture clinic in Taupo and living close to the Tongariro National Park has made it easy for her to spend many hours in the area gathering knowledge and specimens to record their beauty in water colour for all to enjoy.
