Sea Squill (Drimia maritima) might look like it belongs in a sci-fi film, but it's very much part of Mediterranean tradition. Poking up through the dry, cracked earth in late summer, it flowers when everything else has given up - a botanical drama queen, if you like. The Ancient Greeks thought it had magical powers: they'd hang the bulbs on doorways to ward off evil spirits, sort of like a garlicky security system. Farmers have long used it to mark planting seasons, and its massive underground bulb can live for decades. You'll often find it growing in the wild, looking a bit like a gangly candle that's wandered off. No leaves, just a tall spike with clusters of white flowers - stubbornly beautiful and totally unbothered by the heat.
This particular patch of sea squill was growing along the rugged coast of Rhodes, Greece - a place where the air smells faintly of salt and thyme, and the ground crunches underfoot. I spotted it pushing defiantly through the dust, all delicate flowers and quiet confidence. It's a bit of a metaphor, really. If you're drawn to the charm of overlooked beauty or the magic of Mediterranean landscapes, this print might be just the thing for your walls - or to send as a card to someone who loves the wild and wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful photo! I bought it for my grandson but my daughter loved it so much that we decided it would be a waste to put it on his bedroom wall. The quality and detail demands a place where everyone can see it. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. Thank you for the quick delivery too!
I'm absolutely made up with the print I received from Real World Art. I went for the Koi Carp image - It's very evocative and they've totally captured the serenity you feel watching Koi. You can almost hear the babbling water! What's more, it's a top quality print, pin-sharp and looks great framed up. Couldn't recommend them any higher.. lovely to deal with.. thank you.
Lovely soft cushion and excellent print. Very pleased with it.
The absolute perfect image, promptly dispatched, swiftly received. Highly delighted customer. Thank you very much indeed Carol.
