Lynne Uptin | "The Ancients" | Exhibition

Botanical drawing of the Tasmanian White Waratah.
Highly anticipated "The Ancients" is Lynne's first exhibition at Bett Gallery since being awarded the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Best Botanical Art Exhibit, along with a Gold Medal, at the 2024 RHS Botanical Art & Photography Show at the Saatchi Gallery, London. Join us for opening night: Friday the 21st of November, 2025, 5.30-7pm "These plant lineages have endured for millions of years. They have fortuitously avoided growing on the wrong side of volcanoes, lived through ice ages and survived through extinction events." — Lynne Uptin Tasmania is a global centre of plant palaeoendemism, containing relics of some of the world's oldest plant lineages. Palaeoendemics are ancient survivors, once widespread, changing environments now restrict their geographic survival and now occupy a climate space that is globally rare. High levels of palaeoendemism occur widely in western Tasmania, particularly at or slightly above the tree line in relatively undisturbed vegetation, constantly moist climates lacking extreme temperatures, and in open vegetation with rare or no fire.
