EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the vibrant and captivating Vanda tricolor orchid, a true gem of the botanical world. The image is derived from an original illustration by B. Herincq, featured in Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Victorian-era gardening book showcased a selection of the most beloved flowers for both garden and greenhouse cultivation. The Vanda tricolor orchid, also known as the common Vanda orchid, is a mesmerizing epiphyte native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia. Its alluring blooms display a captivating tricolor pattern, with three distinct colors - white, purple, and yellow - that radiate from the same flower. The delicate petals and sepals are intricately veined, adding to its exquisite beauty. The illustration captures the essence of the orchid's allure, with its rich colors and meticulous detail. The background features a lush, green setting, with the peony (Paeonia officinalis) adding a delightful contrast in color and texture. The desire for such exotic and beautiful flowers was a common theme during the Victorian era, with horticulture enthusiasts striving to cultivate these rare and captivating blooms in their own gardens and greenhouses. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the natural world and the beauty it holds, as well as the passion for botanical illustration during the Victorian era. The intricate detail and vibrant colors bring the Vanda tricolor orchid to life, allowing us to appreciate its splendor even in the absence of the real flower.
