EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases two exquisite Australian native wildflowers, the Purple Wilcannia Lily, Calostemma purpureum, and the Yellow Wilcannia Lily, Calostemma luteum. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856 by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Wilcannia Lilies, also known as the Spider Orchids, are native to the arid regions of New South Wales and South Australia. These epiphytic plants grow on trees and rocks, blooming in late winter and early spring. The Purple Wilcannia Lily is characterized by its elegant, purple-tinged, white flowers, while the Yellow Wilcannia Lily boasts bright yellow blooms. The intricate details of the Wilcannia Lilies' petals and sepals are beautifully captured in this lithograph, revealing their delicate beauty and unique structure. The rich colors and fine lines showcase the artists' exceptional skill and dedication to botanical illustration. The publication of "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe" was a significant contribution to the field of botany, documenting a vast array of plants from Europe and its colonies. This image of the Purple and Yellow Wilcannia Lilies not only highlights the natural wonders of Australia but also showcases the artistic excellence of the time.
