Orchid Variations: A Study of Ophrys Species in 1904 Illustrations
About the Item
The collage presents a curated selection of Ophrys species, each meticulously illustrated to showcase the distinctive features that characterize these unique orchids.
The first image, "Ophrys araneifera Huds.," captures the spider orchid with its greenish petals and brown, velvety lip that mimics the form of a spider, enticing its pollinators.
Following, "Ophrys muscifera Huds." depicts the fly orchid, with dark, insect-like markings on its lip, a master of mimicry and deception in the plant kingdom.
The third, "Ophrys fuciflora (Crtz.) Rchb. F.," showcases the late spider orchid with a lip pattern resembling a female wasp.
Finally, "Ophrys apifera Huds." presents the bee orchid, which remarkably resembles its namesake pollinator.
This collection from Walter Müller's 1904 compendium illustrates the diversity and evolutionary ingenuity of the Ophrys genus, captured with scientific precision and artistic flair.
