EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, published in 1897, showcases the intricate defence mechanisms of various plants. Each plant featured in this print exhibits unique adaptations that enable them to protect themselves from external threats. The sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica) takes center stage with its developed leaves and night mode, demonstrating its ability to respond sensitively to touch and environmental changes. The spreading bellflower (Campanula patula) displays its enchanting blossoms, while the alpine rock-jasmine (Androsace alpina or Aretia glacialis) reveals a longitudinal section of its delicate flower structure. Intriguingly, the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) is depicted with a closed blossom in longitudinal section, showcasing how it safeguards its precious stamens within. The curled pondweed (Potamogeton crispus), on the other hand, demonstrates how it loosens winter buds for survival during colder months. Other remarkable plants showcased include the compassplant (Silphium laciniatum), mango tree (Mangifera indica), Colletia cruciata or Colletia paradoxa, sacred fig (Ficus religiosa), denseflower mullein (Verbascum densiflorum or Verbascum phlomoides) adorned with falling raindrops, edelweiss (Leontopodium nivale or Gnaphalium leontopodium), silver thistle (Carlina acaulis) with both open and closed blossoms, and globeflower (Trollius europaeus). This exquisite print serves as a testament to nature's ingenuity and resilience. It allows us to appreciate the diverse strategies employed by different plants to ensure their survival amidst ever-changing environments.
