EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handfinished chromolithograph showcases a captivating arrangement of six rare and beautiful perennial species: Epimedium macranthum, Leontice altaica, Jeffersonia diphylla, Diphylleia cymosa, Epimedium altaiacum, and Jeffersonia diphylla. Each plant is depicted in stunning detail, with Epimedium macranthum taking center stage due to its large, elegant flowers. The Epimedium, also known as Horny Goat Weed, is represented by its large-flowered variety, Epimedium macranthum. Its heart-shaped leaves and vibrant, orchid-like blooms add a touch of elegance to the composition. Leontice altaica, or Lions Leaf, is shown with its distinctive, fuzzy, and deeply lobed leaves. The plant's name is derived from its resemblance to a lion's paw, adding a whimsical touch to the arrangement. Two-leaved Jeffersonia, Jeffersonia diphylla, is depicted with its delicate, bell-shaped flowers and two-lobed leaves. The plant's vibrant pink blooms contrast beautifully with the rich green of its foliage. The Cymose Diphylleia, Diphylleia cymosa, is represented by its graceful, white flowers that hang in clusters from the plant's stems. The plant's name refers to its cymose inflorescence, which is a type of flower arrangement where the flowers grow in clusters from a common point. The arrangement also includes Epimedium altaiacum, or Altaic Epimedium, which is characterized by its large, white, orchid-like flowers. Its leaves are similar to those of Epimedium macranthum but are slightly smaller. This stunning chromolithograph was created by Henry Noel Humphreys, based on an illustration by Jane Loudon for her book "Mrs. Jane Loudon's Ladies Flower Garden of Ornamental Perennials," published in London in 1849. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print make it a true masterpiece of botanical art.
