EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite silkscreen botanical illustration showcases the enchanting beauty of the Rock Tulip, Tulipa saxatilis. The illustration, created by the talented Elsie Katherine Dykes, captures every intricate detail of this rare and captivating bulbous perennial. The Rock Tulip, also known as the Persian Tulip or the Wild Tulip, is a native to the mountains of Central Asia and the eastern Mediterranean. This tulip species is distinguished by its unique rocky habitat, which is reflected in its common name. The illustration reveals the bulb's intricate structure, with its elongated shape and delicate, netted texture. The Rock Tulip blooms in early spring, producing vibrant red or pink flowers with a distinctive yellow center. The flowers sit atop tall, slender stems, adding a burst of color to the rocky terrain. The illustration beautifully captures the delicate balance between the robust bulb and the delicate blooms, highlighting the resilience of this remarkable plant. Elsie Katherine Dykes was a renowned botanical illustrator, known for her meticulous attention to detail and her ability to bring the natural world to life through her art. This illustration is from her seminal work, "Notes on Tulip Species," published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London in 1930. The silkscreen process used to create this illustration allowed for a high level of detail and depth, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
