Prayer Plant Illustration Mug

A prayer plant keeps time. Through the day its oval leaves lie flat with their herringbone veins on show, and toward evening they lift and fold upward until the plant looks like a different one. Plate No. 20 uses both sides of the mug for it. Turn the handle to the right and you see the day drawing; turn it to the left and you see the evening one. The label names the plant once, in the middle.

It is the last plate in the first run of the herbarium and a favourite with the people who talk to their plants. Morning coffee one way round, evening tea the other.

• Sizes: 11 oz or 15 oz.
• Print: two drawings, one each side of the handle.
• Colour: white mug, plate printed in sepia with the leaf veins in oxblood.

Plate No. 20. Prayer plant (Maranta leuconeura). The drawing shows the plant in two positions: leaves spread flat with herringbone veins, and leaves raised and folded upright.
