Golden Trumpet Flower, Allamanda nobilis: A Vibrant Exotic Beauty from Brazil This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Golden Trumpet Flower, Allamanda nobilis, a captivating and exotic bloom hailing from Brazil. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," authored by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires and published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The Golden Trumpet Flower is also known by its synonym, Allamanda cathartica. Its common name derives from its trumpet-shaped, vibrant golden flowers, which are reminiscent of trumpets in both their distinctive shape and their ability to command attention. The lush foliage of the plant is a glossy, deep green, providing a beautiful contrast to the brilliant yellow blooms. The Golden Trumpet Flower was a popular addition to European gardens during the 19th century due to its exotic allure and its ability to thrive in hothouses. This lithograph serves as a testament to the plant's enduring appeal and the meticulous attention to detail that characterized horticultural illustration during this period. The intricate handcolouring technique employed in this lithograph adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the Golden Trumpet Flower to life and allowing us to appreciate its beauty in all its glory. The delicate shading and precise colour application create a sense of realism that transports us to the lush gardens and hothouses of Europe, where these exotic blooms were once cultivated and admired.
