EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Vanda tricolor var. suavis, also known as Vanda suavis. The image is taken from Harriet Stewart Miner's botanical illustration, which was published in the first American color plate book on orchids, titled "Orchids, the Royal Family of Plants," by Lee & Shepard in Boston in 1885. Miner, an accomplished woman botanist, created this illustration with meticulous attention to detail, capturing the intricacies of this beautiful orchid. The Vanda tricolor var. suavis is a captivating orchid, with its vibrant white, pink, and purple petals arranged in a graceful, symmetrical pattern. The chromolithograph, produced by the Hatch Company, brings Miner's illustration to life with rich, vibrant colors that showcase the orchid's true beauty. This orchid, native to the Himalayas and Southeast Asia, is known for its ability to bloom repeatedly throughout the year, making it a popular choice for orchid enthusiasts. The Vanda tricolor var. suavis is a testament to the natural world's beauty and the importance of scientific exploration and documentation. Harriet Stewart Miner's groundbreaking work in orchid botanical illustration paved the way for future generations of botanists and horticulturists to study and appreciate these fascinating plants. This chromolithograph is a beautiful reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the natural world, as well as the contributions of women in science.
