EDITORS COMMENTS
Phalaenopsis equestris var. rosea, also known as Phalaenopsis rosea, is a stunning and captivating orchid species native to the Philippines. This exquisite orchid is depicted in this handcoloured lithograph from the renowned horticultural publication "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe" by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires. Published in Ghent, Belgium between 1867 and 1868, this publication was a comprehensive record of the most beautiful and rare plant species cultivated in European gardens and hothouses during that era. The Phalaenopsis rosea is characterized by its large, velvety, and fragrant flowers that bloom in shades of pink and white. The flowers are borne on a tall, arching inflorescence, making this orchid a popular choice for orchid enthusiasts and collectors. The species name "equestris" refers to the horse-like shape of the inflorescence, while "rosea" signifies the pink coloration of the flowers. This handcoloured lithograph provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Phalaenopsis rosea, capturing its intricate beauty and allure. The delicate veining and texture of the leaves, as well as the subtle shading and coloration of the flowers, are all rendered with great care and precision. The publication's high-quality printing technique ensures that the orchid's vibrant colors and fine details are faithfully reproduced, making this a valuable and treasured addition to any botanical collection. The Phalaenopsis rosea continues to be a popular and beloved orchid species today, and this beautiful lithograph serves as a testament to its timeless beauty and horticultural significance.
