Calceolaria Cultivar Exotic Horticole Hybrid Lillustration Linden Lucien Pannemaeker Swanley Tropical
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts various Calceolaria archnoidea varieties, specifically the Calceolaria archnoideo-crenatiflora, cultivated by the renowned horticulturists Cannell & Son of Swanley. The image, created by the skilled hand of Belgian artist P. de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1884, showcases the exotic beauty of these tropical plants. Calceolaria archnoidea, also known as the "Slipper Orchid," is a fascinating genus of plants native to South America. These small, herbaceous perennials are known for their unique, orchid-like flowers that resemble tiny slippers. The varieties depicted in this illustration exhibit various shades of pink, purple, and white, with ruffled edges and intricate veining. The Calceolaria archnoideo-crenatiflora, in particular, is noted for its distinctive, crinkled petals, which add an extra layer of texture and visual interest to the already captivating flowers. The meticulous cultivation of these plants by Cannell & Son of Swanley allowed for the propagation and preservation of these rare and exotic beauties, bringing a touch of the tropical world to European gardens. This chromolithograph serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of both the horticulturists and the artist, capturing the essence of the Calceolaria archnoidea varieties in a way that continues to inspire and delight botanical enthusiasts to this day.
