EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite botanical drawing, Plate 2 from the John Reeves Collection of Botanical Drawings from Canton, China, held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London, showcases the stunning beauty of Paeonia cv, commonly known as the Peony. The Peony is a flowering plant belonging to the family Paeoniaceae, order Saxifragales, class Magnoliopsida, and subclass Rosidae. It is an angiosperm, meaning it produces seeds enclosed in an ovary. John Reeves, a British botanical artist, created this illustration during the 19th century while residing in Canton, China. The Peony is native to Asia, particularly China, and has been cultivated for thousands of years for its magnificent flowers. This drawing is a testament to Reeves' exceptional artistic skill and his deep understanding of the intricacies of the Peony's form. The Peony is an eudicot, meaning it has two seed leaves, or cotyledons, when it germinates. It is a dicot, meaning it has two seed leaves, or cotyledons, and two embryonic leaves, or true leaves, when it emerges from the ground. The Peony's large, showy flowers come in various colors, including pink, red, white, and yellow. The flower's petals are often velvety to the touch and have a distinctive fragrance. The Peony has been an important symbol in Chinese culture for centuries, representing wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. This botanical drawing is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical record of the Peony and its significance in Chinese botanical history.
