Sir Dan de Lion

Sir Dan de Lion looks fierce in his armor astride his horse of the de Lion stables. Another fun flower metaphor, this copyright free image takes a scourge of most gardens and turns him into a protector of the garden.

This vintage image is from the talented artist Walter Crane (1845-1915). It was included in the book A Floral Fantasy In an Old English Garden published in 1899.
