EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph showcases three exquisite orchid species: Masdevallia coccinea, Trisetella gemmata, and Dracula chimaera. Each orchid is a testament to nature's boundless creativity, with unique shapes, colors, and textures that have long inspired admiration and desire. Masdevallia coccinea, also known as the Noble Masdevallia, is a mesmerizing beauty with its vibrant red and yellow flowers adorned with intricate black markings. The delicate, narrow leaves of this epiphytic orchid contrast perfectly with its bold blooms. Trisetella gemmata, or the Jewel Orchid, is a miniature marvel with its tiny, densely packed, gem-like flowers. The flowers are a captivating blend of white, pink, and purple, and their sweet fragrance adds to their allure. Dracula chimaera, with its striking, elongated labellum resembling a dragon's tongue, is a true enigma. The large, waxy, greenish-yellow flowers of this species are a sight to behold, and their unique shape and color make them a standout among orchids. This stunning illustration, created by B. Herincq and published in Edward Step's Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse in 1896, offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with orchids. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and allure of these noble plants.
