Brussels Bruyne Exotic Hothouse Hybrid Iconography Linden Lindenia Lucien Odontoglossum Orchid Orchids Tropical Variety
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the Leopardinum variety of the Odontoglossum Adrianae hybrid orchid, a rare and exotic beauty from the tropical regions of South America. The illustration, drawn by the skilled hand of C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker, is taken from Lucien Linden's seminal work, "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids," published in Brussels in 1902. The Leopardinum variety of Odontoglossum Adrianae hybrid orchid is characterized by its vibrant, leopard-like spots that cover the length of its petals and sepals. These intricate markings are a result of the complex hybridization process that brought this unique orchid into existence. The illustration captures the orchid in all its glory, with its lush, green leaves and its elegant, upward-facing bloom. The hothouse environment in which the orchid thrives is suggested by the lush, tropical foliage in the background, as well as the delicate, glass-like structures that surround the plant. The intricate details of the illustration, from the veining on the leaves to the individual hairs on the stems, are a testament to the meticulous work of the illustrator and the advanced chromolithography techniques of the time. This historical illustration offers a glimpse into the rich history of orchid cultivation and botanical exploration. Lucien Linden's "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids" was a groundbreaking work that documented over 1,000 different orchid species, many of which were newly discovered during European exploration of the tropics. The work was published in multiple volumes and remains an important resource for orchid enthusiasts and botanical researchers to this day. The Leopardinum variety of Odontoglossum Adrianae hybrid orchid continues to captivate and inspire orchid lovers and botanical illustrators alike, and this beautiful illustration serves as a testament to the enduring allure of these fascinating and exotic plants.
