Red Angels Trumpet: A Rare and Extinct Beauty from the Andes This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Red Angels Trumpet, Brugmansia sanguinea, a rare and enchanting flower once native to the Andes mountains of South America. Brugmansia sanguinea, also known as the Red Angel's Trumpet or Red Angel's Blood, was a beloved addition to the horticultural world during the late 19th century. The flower's vibrant red hue and unique trumpet-shaped blooms made it a prized possession for collectors and botanical gardens. Sadly, the Red Angels Trumpet is now considered extinct in the wild. Overexploitation for its ornamental value and habitat loss led to its decline, and the last known wild specimens were reportedly collected in the late 1800s. Today, the Red Angels Trumpet is preserved only in cultivation and in the pages of historical botanical records. This beautiful lithograph is from the esteemed publication, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire. Published in Ghent, Belgium in 1870, this comprehensive work showcased the most exotic and rare plants of the time. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the artists' skill and the importance placed on preserving the world's botanical heritage during this era. The Red Angels Trumpet may be gone from the wild, but its legacy lives on through images like this one, which serve as a reminder of the beauty and fragility of the natural world.
