The National Wildflower Research Center was created in 1982 by Lady Bird Johnson to encourage a legacy of natural beauty and ecological stability, and to foster a desirable environment for future generations. The Wildflower Center is a research and educational organization committed to the preservation and reestablishment of native wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees. 01/28/1994 14:54 5129290513 NAT'L WILDFLOWER RES PAGE 04 NATIVE PLANTS: AN ENDANGERED HERITAGE The National Wildflower Research Center is dedicated to the conservation of North "Today in an era when water American native flora, and to the propagation tables are dropping and the costs and reestablishment of native wildflowers, of maintaining public landscapes like city parks are soaring, we need grasses, shrubs, and trees in our planned the gallant persistence of these landscapes.

The importance of individual skill is given particular recognition through the system of 'makers marks': each sculpture carries the personal symbol of each artist and craftsperson involved in its creation. To produce that which is beautiful is surely one of the world's most rewarding tasks. The artists and craftspeople of Connoisseur are fully aware of this, and in return they meticulously create sculptures of beauty and quality which they trust will give much pleasure to those who acquire them. The creation of Connoisseur's highly detailed sculptures Diane Lewis is a complex process, beginning with the designer's Joint founder, director, designer and flower maker whose work original concept.

The glaze must be sprayed in a vaporized mist so as not to obscure any of the fine detail. The second firing (glaze or 'glost' firing) is at the slightly lower temperature of 1080°C (2250°F).
