Overview
Lizard orchid – Himantoglossum hircinum Goat-like and with tongues like straps (or so it is described by its Latin name), the lizard orchid has long lip petals which are spiralled and dotted with pink or purple in the centre. It is a tall plant which despite its exuberant form, hides in plain site. Rare in the UK, it thrives on certain golf courses and dunes, where the tiny seeds are carried on the golfers’ shoes.
With exquisite botanical detail, this design builds upon the growing passion in interiors for honoring the natural world. Furthermore, for every roll of wallpaper sold, 100m2 of critical wild habitat is preserved through World Land Trust. Also 10% of profits will be donated to Rebuilding Together in Ukraine.

Additional Info
Newton Paisley designs tell the stories of endangered and neglected species, whilst rejoicing in their extraordinary diversity and beauty. Their mission is to celebrate nature and inspiring people to create beautiful, biophilic home-habitats. As reported by Pattern Observer, flora and fauna make up fully 70% of the textile design market across fashion and home interiors, yet often these designs are lick-and-stick or lacking context in the natural world. Newton Paisley designs are different – full of geeky specificity, authenticity, narrative, love…. Each design tells stories of neglected and endangered species, and, even better, contributes towards the preservation of critical wild habitat.
