EDITORS COMMENTS
Canary Island Bellflower: A Vibrant Blossom from the Atlantic Isles This exquisite handcoloured lithograph showcases the Canary Island Bellflower, Canarina canariensis, also known as Canarina campanula. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece, 'Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe' by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires, published in Ghent, Belgium, in 1856. The Canary Island Bellflower is a native to the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean. With its striking bell-shaped flowers, this plant has captured the attention of botanists and horticulturists for centuries. The flowers appear in various shades of blue, purple, and white, with a distinctive yellow throat. They bloom profusely from late spring to early autumn, adding a burst of colour to the landscape. The lush foliage of the Canary Island Bellflower is evergreen, making it an attractive addition to gardens year-round. The plant grows as a shrub, reaching heights of up to 1.5 meters. Its elegant stems are adorned with narrow, linear leaves that are glossy and dark green. The Canary Island Bellflower has a rich cultural history. It was first described by the Spanish botanist, José Celestino Mutis, in 1783. The plant was later introduced to Europe in the late 18th century and quickly became a popular addition to European gardens. Today, it is cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant and is a symbol of the Canary Islands. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the beauty and allure of the Canary Island Bellflower. It captures the intricate details of the flower and its foliage, making it a valuable addition to any botanical collection.
