EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs. Abby Wilder, a stunning and exquisite hybrid camellia (Camellia japonica), is depicted in this beautiful handcoloured lithograph from the horticultural masterpiece, "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, between 1867 and 1868. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases the captivating beauty of this camellia variety, with its velvety petals unfurling in a rich, deep pink hue, contrasting against the glossy green foliage. Camellias, native to East Asia, were first introduced to Europe in the late 16th century and quickly became a symbol of luxury and refinement. The creation of hybrid camellias, such as Mrs. Abby Wilder, allowed horticulturists to expand the range of colors and forms, making these plants even more desirable. This exquisite lithograph not only serves as a testament to the artistic skill of its creators but also highlights the enduring allure of these elegant blooms. Mrs. Abby Wilder remains a beloved and cherished camellia variety, continuing to captivate gardeners and flower enthusiasts alike with its timeless beauty.
