Drawings of flowers, mostly posies or pretty arrangements in colourful vases, were some of Beatrix Potter's earliest art.
  Plants and flowers are often important in the illustrations found in The Peter Rabbit BooksTM. Look for the foxgloves in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck, the onions Peter Rabbit has trouble with in The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, and the lily pads which Mr. Jeremy Fisher uses as a boat in which to go fishing.
