EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite White Flamingo Flower, a hybrid variety of the Anthurium scherzianum, specifically named Anthurium scherzianum var. (Anthurium album maximum flavescens de la Devansaye. This beautiful specimen was raised by the renowned horticulturist, M. de la Devansaye, at Bergman. The White Flamingo Flower is a captivating cross between Anthurium album, Anthurium maximum, and Anthurium flavescens. The Anthurium genus, native to tropical America, is known for its distinctive heart-shaped spathe and spadix inflorescences. However, the White Flamingo Flower stands out with its unique, elegant white bracts that resemble the graceful curves of a flamingo's legs, earning it the name 'White Flamingo Flower.' This beautiful botanical illustration was created by the skilled hand of Pieter de Pannemaeker for Jean Linden's Horticole, a leading horticultural publication based in Brussels, in 1885. Chromolithography, a popular method for producing high-quality, detailed botanical illustrations during this period, was used to bring the intricate details of the White Flamingo Flower to life. The result is a stunning, vibrant image that captures the essence of this exotic and alluring plant. The White Flamingo Flower continues to be a popular choice for collectors and horticulturists alike due to its unique beauty and rarity. This image serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the horticultural community during the late 19th century and the enduring allure of the tropical world.
