Horticole Lemon Lilium Lily Linden Stroobant Watson Parryi
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the beautiful Lemon Lily, Lilium parryi Watson, a rare and captivating bulbous plant native to the western United States and northwestern Mexico. The image was produced in the late 1800s by the renowned Belgian chromolithographer Stroobant of Ghent, as part of Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole series. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the Lemon Lily's delicate petals and bold yellow stamens are brought to life in this exquisite print. Lilium parryi, also known as Watson's Lily, was first discovered in 1854 by American botanist Asa Gray and named in honor of Samuel Parry, a California botanist. The Lemon Lily is a perennial herb that grows up to 1.5 meters tall and blooms in late spring or early summer. Its large, fragrant flowers are a bright yellow color with a distinctive lemon scent, hence the common name. The historical significance of this botanical illustration lies in its role as a record of the discovery and documentation of new plant species during the late 19th century. Chromolithography, a popular method of printing during this time, allowed for the creation of detailed and accurate illustrations that were widely distributed through horticultural publications. This print of Lilium parryi is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world, as well as the dedication of botanists and illustrators in documenting and preserving it for future generations.
