1897 Vibrant Botanical Prints – Torenia, Speedwell Varieties, and Eccremocarpus

About the Item

Title: 1897 Botanical Prints – Torenia, Speedwell Varieties, and Eccremocarpus This collection of four original botanical prints from 1897 features **Torenia fournieri**, **shrubby speedwell** (*Veronica speciosa*), **long-leaved speedwell** (*Veronica longifolia*), and **eccremocarpus scaber**. Published in *Favourite Flowers of Garden and Greenhouse*, these illustrations highlight the beauty and variety of flowering plants with exceptional Victorian artistry and scientific detail. 1. Torenia fournieri - Common names: wishbone flower, bluewings - Interesting fact: Known for its delicate trumpet-shaped flowers with vibrant purple and yellow hues, torenia is a popular shade-loving plant that blooms profusely throughout the growing season. 2. Shrubby speedwell (Veronica speciosa) and long-leaved speedwell (Veronica longifolia) - Common names: hebe (for shrubby speedwell), garden speedwell (for long-leaved speedwell) - Interesting fact: Speedwells are admired for their tall spires of colorful blooms, which attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Shrubby speedwell is evergreen and ideal for hedging, while long-leaved speedwell is a classic border perennial. 3. Eccremocarpus scaber - Common names: Chilean glory flower - Interesting fact: This fast-growing climber produces tubular orange-red flowers and is native to Chile, making it a favorite for trellises and walls in temperate gardens. These plants are beloved for their unique beauty and versatility, making them enduring favorites in ornamental gardening and botanical illustration. The Torenia fournieri plate showcases delicate, trumpet-shaped purple blooms with soft yellow markings, set against lush green foliage. The shrubby speedwell features dense spikes of pink flowers with rounded green leaves, creating a bold yet elegant display. The long-leaved speedwell contrasts with graceful spires of blue-violet flowers, meticulously drawn to reflect their elongated form and intricate floral anatomy. Lastly, the eccremocarpus print presents slender stems adorned with vibrant orange-red tubular blooms and delicate climbing foliage, emphasizing its striking ornamental appeal. All four prints remain in excellent condition, with vivid colors and sharp details preserved for over a century. Perfect for framing, this set will add timeless botanical charm to any interior space, making it ideal for antique print collectors, garden lovers, or those seeking unique vintage decor. These works beautifully celebrate the diversity and elegance of flowering plants through the lens of 19th-century botanical illustration.
