ORCHIDS 2016

Descrizione

The appearance of the first tropical orchids in the British Isles enraptured lovers of flora, who built hothouses to coax their fabulously expensive cattleya and cypripedia to bloom. Nursery catalogs record orchids for sale as early as 1804, but few understood the needs of these unusual plants until 1851. That year English horticulturist Benjamin S. Williams published a series of articles in The Gardeners Chronicle under the titleOrchids for the Millions.Together with Robert Warner, Williams went on to write his magnum opus, The Orchid Album, published in eleven volumes from 1882 to 1897. The illustrations hand-tinted lithographs on royal quarto pages are by botanical artist and printmaker John Nugent Fitch, who, like the authors, was a fellow of the prestigious Linnean Society. For this calendar, twelve exceptional species were selected from a copy of The Orchid Album in the Library collection of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
