EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Buenos Aires Morning Glory, Ipomoea bonariensis. The botanical illustration was created by the skilled hand of Walter Fitch and published in William Jackson Hooker's esteemed Botanical Magazine in London, in 1838. The Buenos Aires Morning Glory is a captivating vine native to South America, particularly in Argentina and Uruguay. It is characterized by its elegant, funnel-shaped, vibrant blue-purple flowers, which open in the early morning hours and close again by midday. The delicate petals, intricately detailed in this engraving, unfurl to reveal a striking contrast against the dark center of the flower. The vine itself is covered in heart-shaped, glossy green leaves, which provide a lush backdrop for the blooms. The Buenos Aires Morning Glory is a popular ornamental plant, adding a touch of ethereal charm to gardens and landscapes. This stunning botanical illustration serves as a testament to the natural beauty of this enchanting flower, and a reminder of the intricate details that can be found in the natural world when observed closely.
