Ellis Rowan had a major exhibition of Australian flora at Angus and Robertson, Sydney in August 1910. Her aim was to record all known Australian wildflowers. Several designs of waratah, gum blossom and other Australian flora were acquired by the Flavelle Brothers. William Flavelle either purchased them from the 1910 exhibition or, more likely, commissioned specific designs directly from Rowan. These were forwarded to Royal Worcester Porcelain Co Ltd to produce a series of Australian wild flowers. Several dozen original watercolours by Rowan still survive in the Worcester archives.
