EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite chromolithograph depicts the vibrant and enchanting Painted Tongue or Velvet Trumpet flower, Salpiglossis sinuata. The image is derived from an original illustration by Desire Bois, featured in Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The intricate details of the flower are brilliantly captured in this botanical masterpiece. The Painted Tongue, also known as the Velvet Trumpet flower, is a captivating member of the nightshade family. Its unique, tubular shape and velvety texture earned it the common name "velvet trumpet." The flower's bright, bi-colored labellum, with its distinctive red and yellow stripes, resembles a painted tongue, giving it another popular moniker. This illustration is a testament to the Victorian era's fascination with botanical exploration and horticulture. The intricate details of the flower's structure are beautifully rendered, showcasing the delicate balance of form and function that characterizes the natural world. The Painted Tongue is not alone in this illustration; it is accompanied by other captivating flowers, including Columbines (Aquilegia vulgaris, Chrysantha, and Formosa), which add to the overall allure of this botanical composition. This stunning chromolithograph is a must-have for any botanical art collection or for those with an appreciation for the natural world's beauty.
