Avalanche Gardening Growing Horticulture Matador

EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases a stunning collection of Hardy Phloxes, beautifully captured by an English School artist in the 19th century. The vibrant colors and intricate details of these flowers are brought to life in this exquisite piece, now part of a private collection. Originally created as an illustration for John Wright's renowned book "The Flower Growers Guide" (published by Virtue around 1898), this artwork pays homage to the artistry and dedication involved in horticulture during that era. It serves as a testament to the rich history of gardening and the appreciation for nature's beauty. Amongst the array of phlox varieties depicted, one cannot help but be drawn to the Avalanche with its delicate white petals resembling freshly fallen snow. The Miss Tennant variety stands out with its striking pink blooms, while Matador exudes fiery red hues that command attention. These hardy phloxes are truly a sight to behold. Eugene Danzanvilliers' masterful technique captures not only the visual appeal but also conveys a sense of admiration for these blossoms. L'Ornement is evident throughout this composition, showcasing how nature can be transformed into art. This historical print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind it and our enduring fascination with gardens and flowers. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we still find solace and inspiration in nature's wonders.
