Phantom Petunia Flower

Phantom Petunia Flower sketch. Fall 2022 4" x 4" Although there is not a lot of information on this specific one, Petunias are native to South America. The Mayan and Incan people believed that the flowers could ward off spirits and also made drinks with them. The flower is thought to be "discovered" by Europeans in Argentina, but there are several variations of this flower that is widespread through South America and known to the people already living there. The name comes from the Tupi-Guarani name for it Petun. The name basically means "worthless tobacco plant," as it is similar to tobacco, tomato, potato, chili pepper, and cape gooseberry plants. Image Description: One Phantom Petunia sketch with a square frame on a wooden surface next to a book and two small crane decorations.
