EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph showcases two enchanting and beautifully contrasting botanical wonders: the Barclays Maurandia, or winged Thunbergia (Maurandya barclayana), and the Forget-me-not, Scorpion Grass (Myosotis scorpioides). The illustration is based on an original drawing by Eliza Eve Gleadall, published in the esteemed botanical compendium, 'The Beauties of Flora,' in 1834. The Barclays Maurandia, also known as the winged Thunbergia or the memory vine, is a captivating climber adorned with vibrant, tubular, and richly hued flowers. The plant's name is derived from its striking resemblance to the Thunbergia alata, with the addition of winged stems. The delicate, intricately patterned petals of the Barclays Maurandia bloom in a variety of colors, from deep red to vivid orange, creating a breathtaking display. In stark contrast, the Forget-me-not, or Scorpion Grass, is a humble yet enchanting annual herb, characterized by its delicate, blue, bell-shaped flowers. The Forget-me-not's name is derived from the belief that these flowers were created to help people remember their loved ones, as they bloom in early spring, a time when memories of loved ones are often cherished. The intricate details of these botanical wonders are masterfully captured in this handcoloured lithograph, which showcases the plants entwined in a delicate wreath, with a black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) adding a splash of yellow to the composition. The artistry and precision of the illustration serve as a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, inviting us to appreciate the wonders of flora and the memories they evoke.
