EDITORS COMMENTS
Erysimum Cheiri, or the Wall Flower, Circa 1820 This beautiful and evocative image showcases the timeless charm of the Erysimum Cheiri, more commonly known as the Wall Flower or Cheiranthus. The delicate bloom, with its vibrant yellow petals and dark red veins, is artfully arranged against a textured wall, creating a striking contrast between the natural beauty of the flower and the historical backdrop. The Wall Flower is believed to have originated in the Mediterranean region and has been cultivated for over 2,000 years. Its name, Cheiranthus, comes from the Greek words 'cheir' meaning hand and 'anthos' meaning flower, likely referring to the shape of its leaves which resemble a hand. This particular print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, dates back to circa 1820, providing a glimpse into the past and the appreciation for these enchanting flowers that spans generations. The Wall Flower was a popular choice for Victorian gardens, and its fragrant blooms were often used to decorate homes during the winter months when few other flowers were in bloom. The Wall Flower's historical significance is further emphasized by its association with various mythologies and folklore. In Greek mythology, it was believed that the Wall Flower was created when the god Apollo threw his golden crown to the ground in anger, and it transformed into a field of these beautiful flowers. In addition, the Wall Flower was believed to have the power to heal wounds and bring good fortune. Today, the Wall Flower remains a beloved addition to gardens and homes around the world, continuing to inspire awe and delight with its captivating beauty.
