A Delicate Treasure of the Southern Alps

New Zealand's Majestic Mountain Buttercup

With delicate white blooms and broad, glossy leaves, the Mount Cook lily may appear fragile—but it thrives in some of New Zealand’s harshest alpine conditions. Its flowers may bend in the wind, but they do not break, making it a timeless symbol of resilience and inner strength.

Capturing the Heart of the Southern Alps

Native to New Zealand’s Southern Alps, the Mount Cook lily — also known as the mountain buttercup — is the world’s largest buttercup.
Its striking white flowers and beautiful green leaves create a wonderful contrast against the dramatic alpine landscape.
I wanted to capture that feeling of standing among the mountains — surrounded by beauty, strength and a sense of peace.

Experience Purity and Timeless Beauty

Blue and white silk bring together the colours of the mountains, sky and delicate alpine flowers.
Each brushstroke is inspired by the pristine beauty of the Southern Alps, inviting you to pause, dream and carry a little piece of this extraordinary landscape with you.
Bring home the Mount Cook lily in a hand-painted silk scarf, wall artwork or art card — and keep the spirit of the Southern Alps close to your heart.
