1786 Daffodil Lesser Minor Narcissus Pla Nts Species
EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and captivating print depicts the Lesser Daffodil, or Narcissus Minor, a charming species of daffodil that has enchanted gardeners and naturalists for centuries. Dating back to 1786, this historical image is a testament to the enduring allure of these delightful flowers. The Lesser Daffodil, with its distinctive bell-shaped yellow flowers and slender, green leaves, is one of the many species of the Narcissus genus. This species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his famous work, "Species Plantarum," published in 1753. However, it was not until the late 18th century that the Lesser Daffodil gained widespread popularity in Europe, thanks in part to the efforts of botanical illustrators like the one who created this exquisite print. The print showcases the delicate beauty of the Lesser Daffodil, with its intricately detailed petals and vibrant yellow hue. The artist has captured the essence of the flower in its prime, with the petals fully open and the center of the bloom a rich, golden yellow. The background is simple, allowing the flower to take center stage, and the overall composition is both elegant and timeless. The history of the Lesser Daffodil is rich and fascinating. These flowers were once believed to have magical properties, and it was said that if you picked a daffodil and carried it with you, you would be protected from harm. In addition, the daffodil was a favorite of the poet William Wordsworth, who famously wrote about them in his poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." Today, the Lesser Daffodil remains a beloved addition to gardens around the world, and this print is a beautiful reminder of its historical significance and enduring charm. Whether you are a gardener, a naturalist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, this print is sure to bring a smile to your face and a sense of peace to your home.
