EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration showcases the Tenebrosa variety of Vanda tricolor hybrid orchid, a captivating and exotic bloom that has enchanted botanists and horticulturists for generations. The Tenebrosa, meaning 'dark' in Latin, is a particularly intriguing variation of the Vanda tricolor, with its rich, deep purple-black sepals and petals contrasting dramatically against the bright, vibrant yellow labellum. Originally discovered in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, the Vanda tricolor and its hybrid varieties have long been prized for their beauty and rarity. This illustration, drawn by the renowned Belgian botanical artist C. de Bruyne and chromolithographed by P. de Pannemaeker, is taken from Lucien Linden's seminal work "Lindenia, Iconography of Orchids," published in Brussels in 1903. The intricate details of the illustration reveal the delicate structure of the orchid, with its long, slender stems and elegant, waxy petals. The image also captures the lush, verdant foliage that surrounds the flower, suggesting the hothouse or greenhouse environment in which the orchid would have been cultivated. The Tenebrosa variety of Vanda tricolor hybrid orchid remains a popular choice among orchid enthusiasts and collectors today, and this beautiful illustration serves as a testament to the enduring allure of these exotic and captivating blooms. With its rich history and intriguing beauty, this illustration is a must-have for any botanical art collection or orchid enthusiast's library.
