This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the exquisite beauty of the Bicton rhynchostylis orchid, scientifically known as Rhynchostele bictoniensis, or previously as Odontoglossum bictoniense. The image is taken from the horticultural masterpiece "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l Europe" (Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe), published in Ghent, Belgium between 1862 and 1865 by renowned botanical illustrators Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. The Bicton rhynchostylis orchid is a rare and captivating species, native to the highlands of Ecuador and Peru. Its distinctive features include long, arching inflorescences adorned with numerous small, waxy flowers. Each bloom displays intricate patterns of vibrant yellow, orange, and red, with a labellum boasting a unique, elongated spur. The meticulous attention to detail in this lithograph is evident in the delicate rendering of the orchid's petals, sepals, and veins. The background features lush, green foliage, adding to the overall sense of tropical splendour. The image serves as a testament to the artistry and dedication of Van Houtte and Lemaires in documenting the rich botanical diversity of their time. This beautiful orchid, with its alluring appearance and exotic origins, continues to captivate plant enthusiasts and collectors around the world. The Bicton rhynchostylis orchid remains an enduring symbol of the beauty and wonder that can be found in nature, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and documenting the natural world for future generations.
