RHS Botanical Art Show 2013 - Selected Artists

This post has the names of the botanical artists who have been selected for The RHS London Orchid & Botanical Art Show 2013, held in the RHS Lindley Hall in Victoria, London on 12–13 April 2013.

• 30 artists from 10 countries have been selected for this year's show - more than ever before
• artists come from Australia, Thailand, South Korea and the USA as well as from Great Britain.

This is the largest exhibition of botanical art held by the Royal Horticultural Society.  

However it's not the largest exhibition of Botanical Art because that title is held by the Society of Botanical Artists who are holding their exhibition at Westminster Hall on 12-21 April

I wonder if anybody astute has spotted that the two exhibitions are now being held on the same days at a very short distance from one another.  That means there's absolutely no excuse to make the trip to London to see them both!
