EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of Bouvardia hybrid 'Oriana,' a captivating ornamental flower from the Bouvardia genus. The illustration is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. Bouvardia Oriana, a hybrid variety, is characterized by its vibrant, velvety red blooms, which contrast beautifully against the lush, dark green foliage. The intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and stamens are expertly captured in this meticulously hand-coloured lithograph, showcasing the artists' exceptional skill and dedication to botanical illustration. The Bouvardia genus, native to South America, is known for its showy, fragrant flowers that bloom in clusters. The flowers are typically red, pink, or white, and their striking appearance has made them a popular choice for horticulturists and garden enthusiasts alike. The publication of "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" marked a significant contribution to the world of botanical illustration. The work showcased an extensive collection of exotic and rare plants from Europe's most prestigious gardens and hothouses, providing a detailed record of the horticultural achievements of the time. This image of Bouvardia Oriana not only serves as a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world but also highlights the artistry and dedication of the illustrators and publishers who captured and preserved these wonders for future generations to appreciate.
