Brussels Bruyne Cattleya Exotic Hothouse Iconography Linden Lindenia Lucien Orchid Orchids Triumphant Tropical Variety
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the Triumphant variety of Cattleya trianae orchid, a true botanical marvel. Drawn by the skilled hand of C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker for Lucien Linden's "Iconography of Orchids," published in Brussels in 1903, this image captures the essence of the exotic beauty and rarity of this tropical flower. The Triumphant variety of Cattleya trianae is a type of Cattleya orchid, named after the Colombian botanist José Jerónimo Triana. This orchid is native to the Andes mountains in Colombia and Ecuador, where it grows in the humid and warm conditions of the cloud forests. The illustration depicts the orchid in all its glory, with its large, vibrant flowers unfurling from the tall, green spike. The petals are a rich, velvety purple with white edges, while the sepals are a paler shade of purple. The labellum, or the lip of the flower, is a striking white with purple veins and a yellow tip. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the delicate structures of the orchid, from the tiny hairs on the sepals to the veining on the petals. The hothouse setting adds to the sense of otherworldliness and exoticism, transporting the viewer to a lush, tropical paradise. This historical illustration is a testament to the beauty and allure of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the important role that botanical illustrations have played in documenting and preserving the world's plant species. The Triumphant variety of Cattleya trianae orchid remains a cherished symbol of the exotic and the rare, inspiring wonder and admiration in all who behold its beauty.
