EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the enchanting beauty of the Azalea hybrid 'Charles Leirens', a beloved Satsuki azalea variety. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, 'Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe' by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The Azalea indica hybrid 'Charles Leirens' is a captivating blend of vibrant colors, with its rich pink and white blossoms radiating an ethereal allure. The meticulous attention to detail in this lithograph allows us to appreciate the intricate petals, veining, and delicate stamens that make up each bloom. Satsuki azaleas, such as 'Charles Leirens', are renowned for their small size and compact growth habit, making them popular choices for container gardening and bonsai cultivation. Originally hailing from East Asia, these azaleas have been cultivated and cherished for their stunning displays of color and elegance since ancient times. The 'Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe' series was a groundbreaking publication, documenting a wide array of ornamental plants and flowers from across the European continent and beyond. This particular lithograph is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the horticultural community during the late 19th century, as they sought to preserve and celebrate the natural world around them. As we admire the breathtaking 'Charles Leirens' azalea in this beautiful handcoloured lithograph, we are transported back in time to an era when the pursuit of knowledge and beauty in horticulture was a source of great passion and pride.
