Brussels Bruyne Cattleya Exotic Hothouse Hybrid Iconography Linden Lindeni Lindenia Lucien Memoria Orchid Orchids Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning orchid print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Cattleya trianae Lind var. Memoria Lindeni hybrid. Depicted in this illustration, drawn by C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker for Lucien Linden's "Iconography of Orchids," published in Brussels in 1902, this orchid is a captivating example of the tropical exoticism that captured the imagination of botanists and hobbyists at the turn of the 20th century. The Cattleya trianae, also known as the Triana's Cattleya, is a species of orchid native to the Andes Mountains in Colombia and Ecuador. It is named in honor of the German botanist, Alfredo Hensley Triana, who first discovered the plant in 1888. The Memoria Lindeni hybrid, a cross between Cattleya trianae and an unknown pollinator, was likely bred in the hothouses of Europe during the late 19th or early 20th century. The intricate details of the Cattleya trianae Memoria Lindeni hybrid's petals and sepals are masterfully captured in this illustration, with their delicate veining and subtle color variations on full display. The orchid's labellum, or lip, is particularly noteworthy, with its distinctive wavy edges and vibrant, contrasting coloration. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of orchid cultivation and botanical exploration, as well as the artistic skill and dedication of the illustrators and chromolithographers of the time. The Cattleya trianae Memoria Lindeni hybrid remains a prized orchid today, admired for its beauty and rarity in the world of horticulture.
