EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite drawing by Richard Lancake showcases the enchanting beauty of Syringa vulgaris, commonly known as the common lilac. The common lilac is a beloved flowering plant belonging to the Oleaceae family, specifically the genus Syringa. This eudicotyledonous angiosperm, which is a member of the order Lamiales and the asterid clade, is native to the Eastern Mediterranean and Central Asia. The common lilac is renowned for its stunning purple flowers, which bloom in late spring, transforming gardens and landscapes into a symphony of color. Each flower boasts a delicate, bell-shaped structure, with a calyx that is five-lobed and a corolla that is bilabiate. The plant can grow up to 12 feet tall, with aromatic foliage that adds to its allure. This illustration, which is featured in Hazel Le Rougetel's book "The Chelsea Gardener Philip Miller" (1990), showcases the intricate details of the common lilac's flowers. The delicate veins on the petals, the subtle variations in color, and the intricacies of the stamens and pistils are all masterfully captured by Lancake's skilled hand. The common lilac has been a popular ornamental plant for centuries, with its fragrant flowers and attractive form making it a staple in gardens around the world. Its ability to thrive in various climates and soil types has only added to its appeal, making it a versatile and cherished addition to any landscape. This illustration serves as a testament to the timeless beauty and enduring appeal of the common lilac, a true gem among flowering plants.
