EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the Reeves Spiraea, Spiraea cantoniensis f. lanceata, also known as Spiraea reevesiana florepleno, a beautiful shrub native to China. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Reeves Spiraea is renowned for its attractive, dense, rounded habit and clusters of small, fragrant, pink to white flowers that bloom in late spring. The lance-shaped leaves of this cultivar add to its allure, providing a striking contrast against the delicate blossoms. This exquisite botanical illustration showcases the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the European horticultural community during the 19th century. The intricately rendered veins on the leaves and the delicate petals of the flowers are a testament to the dedication and passion of the botanical artists and horticulturists of the time. The Reeves Spiraea remains a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers due to its hardiness, adaptability, and ornamental value. Its ability to thrive in various climates and soil types has made it a beloved addition to gardens around the world. This print not only serves as a beautiful decorative piece but also as a historical record of the rich botanical discoveries and advancements of the past. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring the Reeves Spiraea to life, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of horticulture and the natural beauty of China.
