EDITORS COMMENTS
This handfinished chromolithograph depicts a stunning array of Penstemon species, showcasing their vibrant colors and intricate details. The illustration, created by Jane Loudon and expertly rendered by Henry Noel Humphreys, is taken from Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials, published in London in 1849. The Penstemon family is renowned for its diverse range of beautiful flowers, and this print captures several notable species. In the foreground, the Showy Penstemon (Penstemon speciosum) dazzles with its rich, purple-blue blooms. The Three-leaved Penstemon (Penstemon triphyllum) is depicted in the middle ground, its delicate, white flowers contrasting against its dark, glossy leaves. In the background, the Dr. Scoulers Penstemon (Penstemon scouleri) can be seen, with its distinctive, bright yellow flowers and dark, veined leaves. The Broom-leaved Penstemon (Penstemon pruinosum) is also represented, its silvery-gray leaves and pinkish-purple flowers adding texture and depth to the composition. This exquisite lithograph not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of Humphreys and Loudon, but also to the natural beauty and diversity of the Penstemon family. It provides a glimpse into the horticultural world of the mid-19th century, offering a captivating view of these enchanting flowers that continues to inspire gardeners and botanists to this day.
