This exquisite handcolored illustration showcases the enchanting beauty of the Pale Blue and Lilac Flowered Chinese Glycine (Glycine sinensis), as depicted in Charles McIntosh's Flora and Pomona published in 1829. The Scottish gardener and author, McIntosh, was renowned for his work with European aristocracy and royalty, and his extensive knowledge of horticulture led him to pen numerous books on gardening.
