EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the Meulenaereana variety of Cattleya gigas, a rare and exotic hybrid orchid discovered by the Belgian botanist Lucien Lind in the late 19th century. The Meulenaereana variety is named after the Dutch horticulturist and orchid collector, F. Meulenaere, who played a significant role in the cultivation and distribution of this beautiful plant. The illustration, drawn by the renowned Belgian botanical artist C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker, was published in Lucien Linden's seminal work, "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids," in Brussels in 1902. The meticulous attention to detail in the illustration captures the intricate beauty of the Meulenaereana variety, with its delicate petals and vibrant colors. The Meulenaereana variety of Cattleya gigas is a tropical plant, thriving in the warm and humid conditions of hothouses. Its large, showy flowers are a favorite among orchid enthusiasts and collectors, and its rarity adds to its allure. The history of its discovery and cultivation is an intriguing part of the rich history of orchid horticulture. This illustration is a testament to the beauty and allure of the natural world, and a reminder of the important role that botanical artists and horticulturists play in documenting and preserving the wonders of the plant kingdom. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the Meulenaereana variety of Cattleya gigas continue to captivate and inspire us today.
