EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph depicts the Orange and Yellow Blandford-flowered Rhododendron, Rhododendron cinnabarinum, a captivating species of rhododendron native to the Himalayas. The illustration is taken from Jean Linden's "Illustration Horticole," a renowned botanical publication from the 1880s. The Blandford-flowered rhododendron, also known as Rhododendron blandfordiaeflorum, is named after Sir Henry Blandford, who first discovered this rhododendron species in the Himalayas during the late 18th century. The vibrant colors of this rhododendron are showcased in all their glory in this exquisite lithograph. The orange and yellow hues of the flowers add a warm and inviting touch to the cool, lush surroundings of the Himalayas. The intricate details of the petals and the veining on the leaves are beautifully captured, providing a close-up view of the plant's unique features. The historical significance of this illustration lies in the fact that it was produced during a time when botanical exploration and documentation were at their peak. The discovery and cultivation of new plant species from distant lands were highly sought after, and publications like "Illustration Horticole" played a crucial role in documenting and disseminating this knowledge. The Orange and Yellow Blandford-flowered Rhododendron remains a popular choice among gardeners and plant enthusiasts today, and this beautiful lithograph serves as a testament to its timeless beauty and historical significance.
