EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the beauty and elegance of the Celmisia Monroi, also known as the rock cotton plant, in full bloom. Taken in the late 1880s, this botanical image showcases the native New Zealand plant in its natural habitat, surrounded by rugged rocks and wild foliage. The Celmisia Monroi is a member of the daisy family and is characterized by its long, slender leaves and clusters of pink, cotton-like flowers. The intricate details of the Celmisia Monroi's flowers and leaves are captured perfectly in this Victorian-era photograph. The delicate pink petals are arranged in a symmetrical pattern around the central disc, creating a visually appealing contrast against the dark, textured rocks. The long, narrow leaves add depth and dimension to the image, providing a sense of scale and context. The Celmisia Monroi was a popular subject for botanical illustrators and photographers during the late 1800s due to its unique beauty and rarity. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and held by Kings College London from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the natural wonder and beauty of this native New Zealand plant. The Celmisia Monroi is still found in the wild in New Zealand today, but it is also cultivated as an ornamental plant in gardens around the world. Its pink flowers continue to captivate and inspire, making it a beloved addition to any botanical collection.
