EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Striped Buttercup variety, scientifically known as Potentilla formosa, Potentilla striata formosissima. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1851. The Potentilla formosa, also known as the Striped or Formosissima Striped Buttercup, is a charming and delicate perennial plant that belongs to the Rosaceae family. Its vibrant yellow flowers, adorned with distinctive red stripes, bloom in clusters and add a pop of colour to any garden or greenhouse. The intricate details of the buttercup's petals, leaves, and stems are beautifully captured in this lithograph, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of the horticultural illustrations of the time. The handcolouring further enhances the image, bringing the flowers to life with rich, vibrant colours. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant achievement in the field of horticulture, providing a comprehensive record of the most beautiful and rare plants of the time. This image of the Striped Buttercup variety is a testament to the artistic and scientific excellence of the work, and continues to be a valuable resource for horticulturists and botanical enthusiasts today. The Striped Buttercup remains a popular and beloved plant, prized for its attractive flowers and ease of cultivation. It continues to thrive in gardens and greenhouses around the world, a testament to its enduring beauty and charm.
