Note: These paintings were made to special commission in 1947 at Earnock House, Hamilton by John James Macdougall JP FRHS. They were part of large collection of orchids, raised on the Earnock estate (eventually sold to the Botanic Gardens in the City of Glasgow in 1948). The mansion house of Earnock and its extensive conservatories where the orchids were grown was finally demolished in 1962 as part of urban housing development.
