EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century botanical print showcases the delicate beauty and intriguing properties of three unique plants. In this hand-colored engraving from Hortus Eystettensis by Basil Besler, we are introduced to Dittany, White Helleborine, and Yellow Day Lily. Each plant holds its own allure and significance in the world of botany. The first plant depicted is I Fraxinella, commonly known as burning bush or dictamnus. This fascinating specimen emits a vaporous cloud on hot days that can be ignited, earning it the name "burning bush". Its vibrant colors and fiery nature make it an enchanting addition to any garden. Moving on to II Epipactis angustifolius, we encounter the elegant White Helleborine. With its slender leaves and graceful blooms, this flower exudes a sense of tranquility and purity. However, caution must be exercised around III Asphodelus Liliaceus - the Yellow Day Lily - as it possesses toxic properties harmful to cats. Basil Besler's expertise as an apothecary in Nuremberg shines through in his meticulous attention to detail in capturing these plants' essence. His role overseeing the gardens of the Prince Bishop near Eichstat allowed him firsthand access to study these botanical wonders. This historical gem from Heritage Images not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into centuries-old knowledge about flora. It reminds us of our ever-evolving relationship with
