EDITORS COMMENTS
Columbines, also known by its botanical name Aquilegia, are a beautiful and captivating group of flowers that have been admired for their grace and elegance since ancient times. This stunning chromolithograph print, created by Desire Bois for Edward Stepp's "Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse" published by Frederick Warne in London in 1896, showcases a collection of Columbines in all their glory. The print features various species of Columbines, including Aquilegia vulgaris, Aquilegia chrysantha, and Aquilegia formosa. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the flowers are expertly captured in this Victorian-era illustration. The Columbines are depicted in various stages of bloom, showcasing their unique and distinctive features. Columbines are known for their distinctive nodding flowers, which hang gracefully from long stems. Each flower features five petals, often with intricate patterns and markings, and a distinctive spur that extends behind the flower. The flowers are borne on tall stems, making them ideal for use as creeper plants or in borders. The print also showcases two other plants, Eccremocarpus scaber and Aquilegia scabra, which are often grown alongside Columbines for their complementary colors and textures. Eccremocarpus scaber, also known as the "Purple Heart Vine," is a fast-growing, trailing plant with deep purple foliage and magenta flowers. Aquilegia scabra, or the "Granny's Bonnet," is a low-growing plant with nodding, bell-shaped flowers that range in color from pink to purple to white. This beautiful and intricate print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Columbines and the art of botanical illustration. It provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when gardening and horticulture were celebrated as essential aspects of daily life.
