EDITORS COMMENTS
Loasa lateritia, also known as Blazing Star or Golden Bartonia, is a captivating and vibrant flower that once graced Victorian gardens and greenhouses. This exquisite chromolithograph print is an illustration of Loasa lateritia from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The illustration was created by Desire Bois, a skilled botanical artist of the time. The Loasa lateritia is a member of the Mentzeliaceae family and is native to South America. Its golden-yellow flowers bloom in the evening, giving off an otherworldly glow that resembles a blazing star. The plant can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and produces clusters of these stunning flowers. This botanical illustration showcases the intricate details of the Loasa lateritia's petals, which are delicately veined and have a distinctively ruffled edge. The plant's foliage is also depicted, with its lanceolate leaves providing a contrasting backdrop to the golden blooms. The Victorian era was a time of great interest in horticulture and botany, and the cultivation of exotic flowers like the Loasa lateritia was a source of pride for many gardeners. This chromolithograph print would have been a cherished addition to any Victorian garden or greenhouse, serving as both a decorative piece and a reference for the care and cultivation of this enchanting flower. Today, the Loasa lateritia is still admired for its beauty and rarity, and this botanical illustration remains a testament to the artistry and passion for botany that defined the Victorian era.
