EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the captivating beauty of the Rimmed Trichopilia Orchid, Trichopilia marginata, also known as Trichopilia crispa marginata. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The Rimmed Trichopilia Orchid is a stunning epiphyte, native to Central and South America. Its large, velvety, and vibrant green leaves form a rosette at the base, while its inflorescence bears several waxy, rimmed, and fragrant flowers. The flowers display a captivating contrast between their rich, deep purple color and the delicate, almost translucent, white edges. The intricate details of the orchid's petals, sepals, and labellum are expertly captured in this lithograph, revealing the delicate intricacies of the plant's anatomy. The meticulous hand-coloring further enhances the natural beauty of the Rimmed Trichopilia Orchid, adding depth and richness to the image. Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires' "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a groundbreaking publication that showcased the most exquisite and rarest plants from Europe and beyond. This Rimmed Trichopilia Orchid lithograph is a testament to the dedication and passion of these horticultural pioneers, who sought to document and preserve the natural world's beauty for future generations. The Rimmed Trichopilia Orchid continues to captivate botanists, horticulturists, and nature enthusiasts alike with its unique and captivating appearance. This stunning lithograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of orchid cultivation and the enduring allure of these enchanting plants.
