EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning botanical illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of the Odontoglossum sceptro-crispum, a hybrid orchid discovered by L. Lind in the tropical regions of South America. The illustration, drawn by C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker, is taken from Lucien Linden's seminal work, "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids," published in Brussels in 1902. The Odontoglossum sceptro-crispum is a captivating orchid, characterized by its large, vibrant flowers that bloom in a rich array of colors, from deep purple to bright pink and white. The flower's distinctive features include its long, pointed labellum, which resembles a dagger, and its crisp, wavy edges. This orchid was a popular addition to hothouses and greenhouses around the world due to its exotic allure and striking appearance. The illustration provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Odontoglossum sceptro-crispum, showcasing its intricate structure and delicate details. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of multicolored images, enhances the vibrancy and depth of the illustration, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. This illustration is a testament to the rich history of orchid cultivation and the important role that botanical illustrations played in documenting and preserving the natural world. It is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the plant kingdom and the continued fascination that orchids hold for botanists, horticulturists, and nature enthusiasts alike.
