EDITORS COMMENTS
Common Hepatica, Anemone hepatica, also known as the Liverleaf Anemone, is a beautiful and enchanting spring-blooming perennial plant native to woodlands and shady areas of North America and Europe. This image of the Common Hepatica is taken from an exquisite chromolithograph print, created by Desire Bois and published in Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" in 1896 by Frederick Warne in London. The Common Hepatica is depicted in the print surrounded by other beloved flowers of the Victorian era, including a rose and a Jacqueminot hybrid, adding to the overall charm and allure of the illustration. The intricate details of the petals and leaves of the Common Hepatica are expertly rendered in the chromolithograph process, which was a popular method for producing high-quality botanical illustrations during the late 19th century. The Common Hepatica is characterized by its heart-shaped, lobed leaves, which are a deep green color and covered in small hairs. Its delicate, bell-shaped flowers bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white, and are often speckled with red or purple spots. The plant's name, Anemone hepatica, comes from the Greek words "anemos," meaning wind, and "hepatikos," meaning liver-like, referring to the shape of the plant's leaves. This stunning print is a testament to the enduring beauty and appeal of the Common Hepatica, and serves as a reminder of the rich horticultural traditions of the Victorian era. Whether displayed in a Victorian-era greenhouse or a modern garden, the Common Hepatica continues to captivate and inspire gardeners and flower lovers alike.
