EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration showcases the exquisite beauty of the Griselidis variety of Odontoglossum crispum orchid, a tropical bloom that has enchanted horticulturists and botanical enthusiasts for centuries. Odontoglossum crispum, also known as the "Lady's Slipper Orchid," is a species native to Central and South America, renowned for its distinctive, slipper-shaped flowers. The Griselidis variety, named after the Belgian botanist Griselda Blanche de Witte (1853-1930), is particularly noteworthy for its vibrant, richly colored labellum, which contrasts stunningly against the paler green sepals and petals. In this illustration, the intricate details of the orchid's petals, sepals, and labellum are meticulously rendered, revealing the delicate complexity of its structure. This illustration is taken from the esteemed "Iconography of Orchids" by Lucien Linden, published in Brussels in 1903. The work, which spanned over 12 volumes, is considered a seminal reference in orchid taxonomy and botanical illustration. The illustration is a chromolithograph, a printing technique that allowed for the creation of richly colored and detailed images, making it an exceptional representation of the Griselidis variety of Odontoglossum crispum orchid. This illustration offers a glimpse into the history of orchid cultivation and botanical exploration, as well as the fascinating world of tropical flora. The Griselidis variety of Odontoglossum crispum orchid remains a cherished specimen in hothouses and botanical gardens around the world, continuing to captivate and inspire generations of plant enthusiasts.
