Coralberry, Aechmea fulgens (1896): A Vibrant Victorian Victoriole This exquisite chromolithograph, titled 'Coralberry, Aechmea fulgens,' is an enchanting illustration from Edward Step's 'Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse,' published by Frederick Warne in London during 1896. The illustration was created by the talented Desire Bois, whose intricate and detailed work showcases the beauty and allure of this remarkable plant. The Coralberry, scientifically known as Aechmea fulgens, is a stunning bromeliad that hails from South America. Its vibrant, richly colored inflorescence resembles a cascade of tears or a coral reef, earning it the common name 'Coralberry.' The plant's rosettes of glossy, green leaves form a perfect backdrop for the fiery red, orange, and yellow bracts that surround the tiny, star-shaped flowers. During the Victorian era, the pursuit of exotic and rare plants was a popular hobby among the affluent classes. Horticulture and botanical illustration flourished during this time, as people sought to fill their gardens and greenhouses with the most beautiful and intriguing specimens from around the world. The Coralberry, with its eye-catching appearance and allure, would have been a prized addition to any Victorian garden or greenhouse. This illustration, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistry and dedication of Desire Bois and the team at Frederick Warne. It invites us to appreciate the beauty and wonder of the natural world, and to marvel at the vibrant hues and intricate forms that can be found in even the smallest of flowers. Whether you're a gardener, a botanist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this Coralberry illustration is sure to captivate and inspire you.
