More open source illutrations, made with Inskcape, the open source vector drawing program.
Here are some drawings I made in the greenhouses at Oxford Botanic Garden & Arboretum, and some Inkscape illustrations made with them. When using open source software it makes sense to release the results freely too. Here are the drawings I used, in SVG format.
