Description

Among the numerous places Cedric Morris visited during his extensive travels, Portugal was one of his most frequented.

Morris’ first trip to Portugal, with his partner Arthur Lett-Haines and artist-plantswoman Primrose Harley, was in 1950. He returned many times, often in the company of the plantsman Nigel Scott; these trips were primarily plant-hunting expeditions, with the purpose of finding new species of plants native to the area, to add to their full and varied plant collection back home at Benton End, Hadleigh, Suffolk. Morris had always preferred the countryside, and after the war Morris and Lett-Haines had moved to Benton End from London, which included a large house, studio and garden.
