Mr. Plants Anisanth: A Stunning Hybrid Flower, An Exquisite Example of Victorian Botanical Art This hand-coloured copperplate engraving showcases the allure of Mr. Plants Anisanth, a beautiful hybrid created through the crossing of Anisanthus splendens and Gladiolus colvillii. The engraving, produced by George Barclay after an illustration by the talented Miss Sarah Drake, was published in the esteemed Edwards Botanical Register, edited by John Lindley in London in 1842. The image portrays a graceful female figure delicately holding the exotic bloom, her gentle touch emphasizing its delicate beauty. The Anisanthus hybrid, with its vibrant hues and intricate patterns, stands out against the muted background, a testament to the artistic skill of Miss Drake. Anisanthus splendens, native to South America, and Gladiolus colvillii, indigenous to South Africa, were two distinct plant species brought together in this remarkable horticultural achievement. The resulting hybrid, Mr. Plants Anisanth, boasts the best of both worlds, with the rich colours and elegant form of Anisanthus splendens and the robustness and height of Gladiolus colvillii. This stunning engraving is a testament to the passion and dedication of Victorian botanists and artists who tirelessly documented and celebrated the natural world. The intricate details, the vibrant colours, and the delicate touch of the artist transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the beauty and wonder of the botanical discoveries of the 19th century.
