EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Paphiopedilum orchid hybrid, Cypripedium x yvonnae, named in honor of Miss Yvonne Linden, the cherished daughter of renowned horticulturist Lucien Linden. The illustration was created by A. Goossens and brought to life through the masterful artistry of Pieter de Pannemaeker, as published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, a leading horticultural journal based in Brussels during 1895. The Paphiopedilum orchid, also known as the Lady's Slipper Orchid, is renowned for its distinctive, slipper-shaped pouch that cradles insects, attracting them for pollination. This specific hybrid, Cypripedium x yvonnae, showcases an enchanting blend of colors, with its velvety, rich purple labellum contrasting beautifully against the soft, ivory-hued petals. As a testament to the intricacy and allure of the natural world, this botanical illustration captures the essence of the Paphiopedilum orchid hybrid in its prime, offering a glimpse into the lush, tropical beauty that captivated the imagination of collectors and horticulturists alike during the late 19th century. The vibrant colors and meticulous detailing in this chromolithograph serve as a reminder of the enduring fascination with exotic and rare flora, as well as the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
