EDITORS COMMENTS
Golden Dryandra, Dryandra nobilis, is a rare and beautiful native Australian plant, elegantly depicted in this handcoloured lithograph 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 1851, this botanical masterpiece showcases the intricate details of the Golden Dryandra's delicate flowers, which resemble those of the Banksia family. The vibrant golden hue of the plant's blooms contrasts stunningly against the deep green foliage, making it a true standout among other flora. Originating from the south-west region of Western Australia, the Golden Dryandra is a shrub that can grow up to 2 meters in height. It is known for its unique and fragrant flowers, which bloom from late winter to early spring. The plant's flowers are rich in nectar, making it an important food source for various native bees and insects. This exquisite botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the beauty of the Golden Dryandra but also highlights the remarkable work of the European botanical community in documenting and preserving the natural wonders of the world during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors captured in this lithograph are a reflection of the dedication and expertise of the artists and horticulturists involved in the creation of this publication.
