EDITORS COMMENTS
Canary Broom, Genista canariensis, also known as Cytisus canariensis, is a beautiful and vibrant shrub native to the Canary Islands. This stunning chromolithograph is an illustration by Desire Bois from Edward Step's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse," published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896. The intricate details of the Canary Broom's yellow pea-like flowers, which bloom in dense clusters, are expertly captured in this botanical illustration. The Canary Broom is a popular ornamental plant in Victorian gardens and greenhouses due to its attractive appearance and ability to thrive in various climates. The plant's evergreen foliage adds texture and color to the garden throughout the year. The Canary Broom is not to be confused with Chinese Wisteria, Wistaria sinensis, which is also depicted in the same publication. The chromolithograph process, a popular method for producing high-quality and detailed botanical illustrations during the Victorian era, involved the transfer of an image from an etching to a lithographic stone and the application of multiple colors. This process allowed for the creation of intricate and lifelike illustrations, making them highly sought after by collectors and horticulturists alike.
