Subject:Help identifying old asian art

I found this at the Salvation Army for 8 dollars. the paper is very fragile and looks like thousands of little squares up close. I spent time on the internet trying to identify the artist signature with no joy.

春媚圖　千紋
Picture of Spring Beauty
Signature,
千紋　-　Qiānwèn - Pseudonym
Seal,
Illegible

蘭若生春夏　芊蔚何青青
幽獨空林色　朱薶冒紫茎
Orchids come up in spring and summer
They turn green vigorously
Amids dim lonely forest colors
Red flowers cover the purple stems

Citation from a poem of Chen Zi'ang (661-702), a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

Unidentifiable artist

With regards,
I.Nagy

I have attached a better picture of the artist seal. I just want to thank you all for your help.

Seal reads,
朴敏　-　Piao Min - Surname and given name

Judging from the name, there is a probability of being a Korean artist, in that case the reading is;
Bak Min (Park Min)
However, in neither case can I find an identifiable artist with this name.

With regards,
I.Nagy
