Buseri Phaseolus by Dorothy Platt | Rare 1950 Botanical Collotype

Buseri Phaseolus by Dorothy Platt is an exquisite vintage botanical collotype printed in 1950, capturing a trailing cluster of lush green leaves and cascading violet-blue blossoms. This piece depicts a flowering variety of the Phaseolus genus — the same botanical family as beans and climbers often found in ornamental gardens. Platt’s mid-century study highlights the delicate vine tendrils and richly layered blooms with precise color and detail.

Each authentic collotype was printed by Triton Press Inc. on fine art paper, kept flat in unopened mid-century archives — never framed or displayed, a true “new vintage” botanical treasure exclusive to Pink Flamingos.
