EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a beautiful Tuberous Begonia hybrid, showcasing its vibrant and intricately detailed blooms. The image is taken from an illustration by Desire Bois, featured in Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The Tuberous Begonia, a popular choice for Victorian gardeners, is a hybrid of various species within the genus Tuberous Begonia. The illustration captures several distinct varieties, including 'Mammillaria Prolifera,' 'Rhodantha,' 'Mamillaria Pusilla,' and 'Nipple Cactus.' The Tuberous Begonia's large, lush foliage is adorned with an array of colorful, grape-like flowers that resemble pincushions. The petals are arranged in intricate patterns, with some displaying ruffled edges and others featuring contrasting colors. Desire Bois' meticulous illustration technique brings the beauty of these hybrids to life, showcasing their unique charm and allure. The chromolithograph process used to create this print allowed for a rich, vibrant color palette, enhancing the captivating details of the Tuberous Begonia flowers. This Victorian-era botanical illustration not only serves as a testament to the artistry and horticultural knowledge of the time but also highlights the enduring appeal of Tuberous Begonias as beloved garden and greenhouse plants. The intricate details of the flowers and the lush foliage invite viewers to appreciate the delicate beauty of nature and the skill of the illustrator.
