Celandine, a captivating flower with a dark secret. This enchanting plant may seem innocent with its happy yellow petals and delicate appearance, but it holds a toxic power within. Known as one of the poisonous and toxic plants, it has intrigued botanists for centuries. In the Victorian era, botanical illustration flourished, capturing the beauty of nature in intricate detail. Celandine became a popular subject for these illustrations, showcasing its vibrant colors and graceful form. One such example is the late 1896 wallpaper design featuring this captivating flower in a stunning color woodblock print on paper. There are two main types of celandine: lesser celandine (Ficaria verna) and greater celandine (Chelidonium majus). Both species have their own unique characteristics and uses. Lesser celandine often grows alongside fumitory and St. Barbara's herb (Barbarea vulgaris), creating an exquisite blend of colors in nature's tapestry. However, it is the greater celandine that holds more intrigue due to its potent properties. Also known as tetterwort or pilewort, Chelidonium majus possesses medicinal qualities despite being highly poisonous if ingested improperly. Its historical significance can be traced back to Leonhart Fuchs' renowned work "De historia stirpium, " where he depicted this striking plant. Even insects cannot resist the allure of celandine. Curtis British Entomology Plate 199 showcases various winged creatures gracefully perched upon these alluring flowers, highlighting their importance in sustaining biodiversity. The mesmerizing beauty of celandines was not limited to illustrations alone; chromolithos were also created to capture their essence on paper through vivid colors and meticulous detailing. Today, Chelidonium majus continues to fascinate botanists and herbal enthusiasts alike for its potential healing properties when used cautiously under expert guidance.
