Three-Coloured Indian Cress: A Vibrant and Exotic Beauty from the Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe This stunning handcoloured lithograph showcases the Three-Coloured Indian Cress, Tropaeolum tricolor, also known as jaratti. The image captures the plant in all its glory, with its bushy topiary form adorned with vibrant, three-coloured flowers. The Three-Coloured Indian Cress is a native of South America, but it has long been cultivated in Europe due to its attractive appearance and intriguing history. The Three-Coloured Indian Cress is a member of the Nasturtium family and is characterized by its distinctive tricolour flowers, which display shades of red, white, and yellow. The flowers grow in clusters and have a unique, sweet fragrance that adds to their allure. The plant prefers warm temperatures and plenty of sunlight, making it a popular choice for hothouses and greenhouses. This beautiful illustration is from the renowned horticultural publication, Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe, produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaire in Ghent, Belgium, in 1870. The publication was known for its high-quality, handcoloured lithographs, which captured the intricacies and beauty of various plants and flowers. This particular image of the Three-Coloured Indian Cress is a testament to the skill and artistry of the illustrators and lithographers involved in the project. The Three-Coloured Indian Cress remains a popular ornamental plant today, and its vibrant colours and unique appearance continue to captivate gardeners and plant enthusiasts around the world.
