EDITORS COMMENTS
This handfinished chromolithograph by Henry Noel Humphreys, based on an illustration by Jane Loudon from her book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849, showcases a stunning collection of everlasting peas and vetch species. The illustration highlights the beauty and diversity of these plants, which were popular in Victorian gardens for their long-lasting flowers and attractive foliage. The everlasting peas depicted in this print include Lord Anson's pea (Lathyrus magellanicus), large-flowered everlasting pea (Lathyrus grandiflorus), and elliptic-leaved everlasting pea (Lathyrus ellipticus). These plants are characterized by their pea-like flowers that dry well and retain their color, making them ideal for flower arrangements. The vetch species featured in this print include the hairy bitter vetch (Orobus hirsutus), dark purple bitter vetch (Orobus atro-purpureus), and orange-coloured bitter vetch (Orobus aurantius). These plants are known for their attractive, climbing stems and attractive, pea-like flowers. Additionally, the print includes an image of the Virginian earth nut (Apios tuberosa), which is not a pea or vetch but is often grown alongside these plants due to its attractive foliage and edible tubers. This beautiful and intricately detailed print provides a glimpse into the rich horticultural history of the Victorian era and showcases the timeless appeal of these ornamental plants.
