EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured lithograph depicts the exquisite Bamboo Lily or Sasayuri Hybrid, Lilium japonicum (also known as Lilium krameri), a beautiful and rare ornamental plant native to East Asia. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," published by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874. The Bamboo Lily, with its unique and elegant appearance, is a hybrid between Lilium japonicum and Lilium krameri. The plant is characterized by its tall, sturdy bamboo-like stalks, which can grow up to 6 feet high, and its large, showy, white flowers with a distinctive pink blotch at the base. The flowers bloom in late summer and are often described as having a sweet, pleasant fragrance. The intricate details of the Bamboo Lily's petals and stamens are beautifully rendered in this handcoloured lithograph, showcasing the meticulous artistry of the time. The background features a serene garden setting, with lush greenery and a tranquil pond, further emphasizing the delicate beauty of the flower. The publication of "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" was a significant achievement in the field of horticulture, providing a comprehensive record of the most beautiful and rare plants cultivated in Europe during the late 19th century. This image of the Bamboo Lily is a testament to the dedication and passion of its creators, who sought to document and preserve the natural wonders of their time for future generations to appreciate. Today, the Bamboo Lily remains a cherished and sought-after ornamental plant, admired for its unique beauty and rarity. This lithograph serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of these enchanting flowers, and the importance of preserving the natural world for future generations to enjoy.
