EDITORS COMMENTS
Begonia 'Madame Linden' is a stunning tuberous begonia variety, showcased in this exquisite chromolithograph by P. de Pannemaeker from Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole, published in Brussels in 1884. The vibrant image captures the essence of this tropical, exotic flower in all its splendor. The Madame Linden begonia is known for its large, velvety, and richly colored flowers that bloom profusely throughout the growing season. In this illustration, the flower is depicted in a lush, green setting, with its rich red petals unfurling around a golden center. The intricate details of the veining on the leaves and the delicate texture of the petals are beautifully rendered, making this a true masterpiece of botanical illustration. Tuberous begonias, like the Madame Linden variety, are native to Central and South America and were first introduced to Europe in the late 18th century. They quickly became popular among horticulturists and collectors for their exotic beauty and ease of cultivation. This chromolithograph is a testament to the fascination with these tropical plants during the late 19th century, when botanical exploration and the exchange of plant specimens between Europe and the Americas were at their height. The Madame Linden begonia continues to be a favorite among gardeners and flower enthusiasts today, and this beautiful illustration remains an enduring reminder of the captivating allure of these exotic plants.
