EDITORS COMMENTS
Creeping Boobialla, Myoporum parvifolium, is a low-growing, mat-forming shrub native to Australia, showcased in this beautiful chromolithograph from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The illustration was created by Desire Bois. This Victorian-era botanical masterpiece captures the essence of the Creeping Boobialla, with its intricate details revealing its small, oval, glossy leaves, and clusters of tiny, white, pea-like flowers. The Creeping Boobialla, also known as Big Sage, Ghanaeri, Tickberry, Lantana Camara, and Myoporum, is a hardy plant that thrives in a variety of conditions, making it a popular choice for gardens and greenhouses. Its creeping growth habit makes it an effective groundcover, spreading gently to fill in bare spots and prevent erosion. The Creeping Boobialla's vibrant green foliage provides an attractive contrast to other plants and adds texture to garden beds. Its small, delicate flowers bloom in profusion, adding a splash of color and attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. This chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, as well as the artistry and skill of the Victorian botanical illustrators. It invites us to appreciate the simple pleasures of gardening and horticulture, and to marvel at the wonders of the plant kingdom.
