EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts the vibrant and captivating Lemon Day-lily, scientifically known as Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus (also referred to as Hemerocallis flava), a stunning member of the day-lily family. The image is taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's renowned botanical publication, "Flora von Deutschland," published in Jena, Germany, in 1871. The Lemon Day-lily is characterized by its large, yellow, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom in clusters on tall stems. The plant is native to Eastern Asia and has become a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world due to its attractive appearance and hardiness. The handcolouring technique used in this lithograph enhances the intricate details of the flower's petals, veins, and stamens, making it a true work of art. The botanical illustration provides valuable information about the plant, including its scientific name, as well as its classification within the plant kingdom. The Lemon Day-lily belongs to the family Agavaceae and the genus Hemerocallis. The species name lilioasphodelus refers to its resemblance to both lilies and asphodels, while the common name "day-lily" comes from the fact that the flowers open and close each day. This beautiful and intricately detailed lithograph is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of botanical illustration during the late 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the dedication of botanists and artists to documenting it.
