EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century drawing by Georg Dionysius Ehret captures the intricate beauty of two natural wonders: Verbascum ferrugineum, commonly known as Rusty Mullein, and Tropidacris collaris, a South American grasshopper. The Rusty Mullein, a tall, flowering plant belonging to the Dicotyledon family, is depicted in full bloom, its yellow flowers arranged in dense, spikelike inflorescences. The plant's rusty-colored leaves, which give it its name, are also detailed in the illustration. In the foreground, the South American grasshopper, Tropidacris collaris, hops gracefully among the mullein's leaves. This invertebrate, a member of the Hexapoda class and the Insecta order, is characterized by its distinctive coloration: a vibrant green body with orange stripes and a black collar around its neck. The grasshopper's long, slender legs and powerful hind legs are perfectly poised for its next leap. Ehret's masterful drawing showcases the delicate balance between the plant and insect worlds, highlighting the intricacies of each organism and their unique beauty. The Rusty Mullein and Tropidacris collaris, though seemingly unrelated, share an intriguing connection in this illustration, demonstrating the interconnectedness of the natural world. This image, taken from The Chelsea Gardener by Philip Miller, is a testament to Ehret's exceptional talent and his dedication to documenting the natural world in all its splendor.
