An original edition of Blackwell\u2019s <i><a href=\"http:\/\/resource.nlm.nih.gov\/2449056R\">A Curious Herbal<\/a><\/i> is in the NLM collection. The work<i> <\/i>was an unprecedented achievement for a woman of Mrs. Blackwell\u2019s time. She drew, engraved and colored the illustrations herself, mostly using plant specimens from London\u2019s Chelsea Physic Garden. Blackwell\u2019s <i>Herbal <\/i>was issued in weekly parts between 1737 and 1739, each part containing four illustrated plates and a page of text. The series was highly praised by leading physicians and apothecaries, and made enough money to secure Mrs. Blackwell\u2019s husband\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bl.uk\/onlinegallery\/onlineex\/landprint\/blackwell\/\">freedom from debtors\u2019 prison<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Popular in floral arrangements and gardens, Larkspur is a perennial flower in the buttercup family. It comes in a variety of colors including purple, pink, and white, and has a variety of meanings including fickleness, a happy-go-lucky nature, and romantic love. Larkspur bloom from late spring to late summer and have the potential to grow up to several feet tall.\u00a0 Although small amounts of the extracts of Larkspur have been used in herbal medicine, Larkspur is very poisonous if ingested.
