EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the exquisite Dows Cattleya Orchid, specifically the gold variety, Cattleya dowiana var. aurea. The intricately detailed illustration was created by P. Stroobant for Jean Linden's Horticole, a renowned botanical publication based in Brussels, in the year 1883. The Dows Cattleya Orchid, also known as Cattleya aurea, is a tropical plant native to South America, particularly Brazil and Peru. This beautiful orchid is known for its large, vibrant flowers that bloom in various shades of gold, with some exhibiting pink or red accents. The petals of the Cattleya dowiana var. aurea are adorned with intricate veining and ruffles, adding to its allure. The plant's leaves are long and narrow, with a glossy, dark green hue. Orchids, including the Dows Cattleya, have long been admired for their exotic beauty and rarity. This illustration serves as a testament to the captivating allure of these tropical plants, which continue to inspire wonder and fascination in botanists and plant enthusiasts alike.
