EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Flame Anemone, Anemone hortensis, also known as the Tea Anemone or the Climbing Anemone of Dijon. The image is an illustration 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, a renowned botanical artist of the Victorian era. The Flame Anemone is a hybrid variety, with the var. fulgens being particularly noteworthy for its vibrant, richly colored flowers. The anemone's blooms resemble the petals of a rose, with their velvety, scarlet red hue and ruffled edges. The plant's name, Anemone hortensis, derives from the Greek word "anemone," meaning windflower, and "hortensis," meaning of the garden. The Flame Anemone is a climbing plant, making it an attractive addition to gardens and greenhouses. Its long, slender stems can reach up to 3 feet in length, allowing the plant to gracefully cascade over trellises or other structures. The plant's foliage is dark green, providing a striking contrast to the fiery red flowers. This illustration serves as a beautiful souvenir of the Victorian era's fascination with horticulture and botanical art. The intricate details of the Flame Anemone's petals and veins are masterfully captured, showcasing the artist's skill and dedication to accurately depicting the natural world. The image also features a rose, likely the fragrant Rosa odorata, adding to the overall charm and elegance of the print.
