1897 Botanical Prints – Beard-Tongue, Collinsia, Zaluzianskya, and Monkey Flower

About the Item

Title: 1897 Botanical Prints – Beard-Tongue, Collinsia, Zaluzianskya, and Monkey Flower Description: This set of four original 1897 botanical prints features 'beard-tongue' (Pentstemon hartwegi), 'collinsia bicolor', 'zaluzianskya selaginoides', and the 'harlequin monkey flower' (Mimulus luteus variegatus). Published in 'Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse', these finely detailed illustrations celebrate the diversity and vibrancy of flowering plants, showcasing the artistry and precision of Victorian botanical works. In more detail: 1. Beard-tongue (Penstemon hartwegi) - Common names: penstemon, foxglove beard-tongue - Interesting fact: Known for its tubular red flowers, this plant is a favorite among hummingbirds and is prized for its drought tolerance and vibrant color in gardens. 2. Collinsia bicolor - Common names: Chinese houses - Interesting fact: This wildflower is native to California and gets its name from its tiered blossoms that resemble a pagoda. Its purple and white flowers are highly attractive to bees. 3. Zaluzianskya selaginoides - Common names: night phlox, midnight candy - Interesting fact: Zaluzianskya is admired for its sweetly fragrant white flowers, which open in the evening and are often used in moon gardens. 4. Monkey flower (Mimulus luteus variegatus) - Common names: yellow monkey flower, spotted monkey flower - Interesting fact: Named for its blooms that resemble a monkey's face, this plant is popular in wetlands and along stream edges, thriving in damp conditions. These botanical prints highlight the intricate details and ornamental value of these plants, capturing their beauty and ecological importance. The beard-tongue plate captures its vivid red trumpet-shaped blooms and sturdy green foliage, known for their garden resilience. Collinsia bicolor features delicate pale pink and white flowers, gracefully arranged on slender stems with detailed seed structures. The zaluzianskya print showcases clusters of soft, white blooms atop fine green stems, emphasizing the plant's elegant simplicity. The harlequin monkey flower steals attention with its striking yellow and crimson speckled blooms, rendered with exceptional detail to highlight its ornamental appeal. All four prints are in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and crisp details preserved beautifully over time. Perfect for framing, these works bring vintage botanical charm to any interior space. Ideal for collectors of antique prints, garden enthusiasts, or lovers of floral decor, this set offers a timeless celebration of nature’s artistry and scientific exploration.
