EDITORS COMMENTS
Palmer's Penstemon, Penstemon palmeri, is a beautiful and rare wildflower native to the northeastern regions of America. Named in honor of the renowned American botanist Edward Palmer, this Penstemon species is depicted in this exquisite handcoloured lithograph from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874. The delicate Penstemon palmeri is characterized by its tall, slender spikes of vibrant blue-violet flowers, which bloom in late spring and early summer. The plant grows to a height of around 30-60 centimeters and thrives in rocky, well-drained soils. The genus Penstemon is native to the Americas, and this particular species was first discovered by Edward Palmer during his explorations of the eastern United States in the mid-19th century. The intricate detail and vibrant colors of this handcoloured lithograph accurately capture the beauty and elegance of Palmer's Penstemon. The botanical illustration provides a glimpse into the meticulous work that went into documenting and preserving the natural world during the Victorian era. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant contribution to the field of botany, and this image of Penstemon palmeri is a testament to the dedication and expertise of its creators. Today, Palmer's Penstemon is a cherished plant in both scientific and horticultural circles, and this stunning lithograph remains an enduring reminder of the beauty and importance of the natural world.
