Tulipa orphanidea var. whittallii No. 1560: A Botanical Marvel in Vibrant Hues This exquisite silkscreen botanical illustration showcases Tulipa orphanidea var. whittallii No. 1560, a rare and captivating tulip species. Created by the skilled hand of Elsie Katherine Dykes, this illustration is a testament to the intricate beauty of nature. Tulipa orphanidea, commonly known as the 'Wild Tulip,' is a native of Central Asia, specifically the mountains of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The var. whittallii, named after the British botanist John Whittall, is characterized by its unique, elongated and narrow leaves, and its striking, crimson-purple flowers with a yellow base and white edges. Elsie Katherine Dykes, a renowned botanical illustrator, captured the essence of this rare tulip species in stunning detail. The delicate veins on the leaves, the intricate patterns on the petals, and the vibrant colors are all rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. The illustration is part of the extensive collection of William R. Dykes' Notes on Tulip Species, published by Herbert Jenkins Ltd. in London in 1930. This illustration is not only a visual delight but also a valuable record of a rare and beautiful plant species. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world, and the role that botanical illustration plays in capturing its intricacies for future generations to appreciate.
