Temple Bells: A Vibrant Display of Smithiantha Cinnibarina (Gesneria Cinnabarina) This exquisite handcoloured lithograph captures the enchanting beauty of Smithiantha cinnibarina, also known as Gesneria cinnabarina or Temple Bells. This rare and captivating plant is depicted in all its glory, adorned with its vibrant, bell-shaped flowers. Originating from Mexico, Smithiantha cinnibarina is a member of the Gesneriaceae family, known for their unique and intricately shaped blossoms. The plant's name derives from the Latin words "smithianthus," named after the botanist John Smith, and "cinnabar," referring to the deep red color of the flowers. This stunning image is taken from the renowned horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in Ghent, Belgium, in 1857. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcolouring process brings out the richness and depth of the plant's colors, making it a true masterpiece of botanical art. The Temple Bells plant is shown in its full splendor, with its lush, green foliage providing a lush backdrop for the fiery red bells. The delicate petals, intricately veined and delicately curled, add to the plant's allure, making it a must-have for any botanical collection. This image not only showcases the beauty of Smithiantha cinnibarina but also serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of the botanical illustrators of the time. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this lithograph continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of horticulture and botanical exploration.
