EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Soft Vanda Orchid, Vanda tricolor var. suavis (hrubyana), also known as Vanda suavis. The image is taken from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, between 1862 and 1865. The Soft Vanda Orchid, with its captivating tricolor blooms, is a stunning example of the diversity and allure of the orchid family. Its delicate, soft petals display a mesmerizing blend of colors, ranging from white and pink to deep purple. The intricate detailing of the lithograph brings out the unique textures and patterns of the orchid's petals, sepals, and labellum, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. The Soft Vanda Orchid is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, particularly India, Sri Lanka, and the Himalayas. It thrives in warm, humid conditions and is known for its ability to grow epiphytically on trees, making it a popular choice for hobbyists and professional growers alike. The orchid's vibrant colors and captivating appearance have made it a favorite among collectors and enthusiasts for over a century. This beautiful lithograph not only serves as a testament to the exquisite beauty of the Soft Vanda Orchid but also highlights the remarkable advancements in botanical illustration during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring techniques bring the orchid to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in a way that words alone cannot convey.
