EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of Bush Honeysuckle or Ukon Utsugi, scientifically known as Weigela middendorfiana (previously classified as Diervilla middendorffiana). Originating in Asia, particularly in Japan, this bush honeysuckle has captivated botanists and garden enthusiasts for centuries. The vibrant image, taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856, reveals the bush honeysuckle's intricate details. The plant is depicted in full bloom, displaying its clusters of tubular, two-lipped flowers in shades of pink and white. The leaves, which are simple, opposite, and lanceolate, add to the plant's allure. Bush Honeysuckle is a popular ornamental plant due to its attractive appearance and its ability to thrive in various climates. The plant's name, Ukon Utsugi, translates to "bear bush" in Japanese, a reference to the plant's association with bears, which are known to feed on its berries. This stunning lithograph not only serves as a testament to the plant's beauty but also to the exceptional artistry of the 19th-century European horticultural illustrators. The meticulous hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
