EDITORS COMMENTS
Big Sage, Ghaneri, or Tickberry: Lantana camara (Big Sage, Ghaneri, or Tickberry, Lantana camara) is a vibrant and exotic plant that has captured the attention of gardeners and horticulturists for over a century. This stunning chromolithograph, created by Desire Bois and published in Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" in 1896, showcases the plant's alluring scarlet blooms in rich detail. Originally native to tropical regions of the Americas, Lantana camara has since spread across the globe due to its hardiness and ability to thrive in various climates. The plant's common names reflect its various uses and characteristics – "big sage" for its aromatic leaves, "ghaneri" for its use as a traditional medicine in India, and "tickberry" for the sticky hairs on its stems that can attach tiny seeds to passing animals. This Victorian-era illustration showcases the plant's splendid scarlet flowers, which bloom in profusion from summer through fall. The intricately detailed petals, veined leaves, and sturdy stems are all rendered in exquisite detail, making this a prized addition to any botanical collection. Desire Bois, a skilled botanical illustrator, expertly captured the essence of this plant, which continues to be a favorite among gardeners and horticulturists today. This chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of Lantana camara, and a reminder of the rich history of botanical illustration.
