Floral Delights: A Pair of North American Wildflowers, 1879

About the Item

This original antique artwork reflects the meticulous work of Thomas Meehan, and the images were published by L.Prang and Company in Boston, known for their exquisite chromolithographic work in the 19th century. The book from which these plates come, "The Native Flowers and Ferns of the United States in Their Botanical, Horticultural, and Popular Aspects," serves as a testament to the rich botanical heritage of the United States and the period's appreciation for natural sciences. The two botanical prints depict: 1. **Gelsemium sempervirens**: Commonly known as Carolina jasmine or yellow jessamine, this plant is a twining vine with glossy, lanceolate leaves and bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. Native to the southeastern United States, it is often found in woodlands and along roadsides. The plant is known for its fragrant blossoms, which appear in late winter or early spring. 2. **Aquilegia chrysantha**: Also known as the golden columbine, this flowering plant is characterized by its tall, branching stems and unique, spurred flowers. The blossoms are a striking yellow color and hang gracefully from the stems. The leaves are compound, with lobed segments, giving the plant a delicate appearance. This species is native to the southwestern United States and is often found in higher elevation habitats, such as canyons and woodlands. Both plants are not only appreciated for their aesthetic appeal but are also valuable to native ecosystems, providing nectar for pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. The illustrations show the plants in full bloom, capturing the intricate details of their flowers and foliage, and are likely taken from a volume dedicated to the natural flora of North America.
