Vibrant Creeping Phlox: The Cascade of Color, Published in 1879

About the Item

This original antique artwork for sale 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. A suitable title for this botanical illustration could be "Vibrant Creeping Phlox: The Cascade of Color." Description of the Phlox Subulata: - Phlox Subulata, commonly known as Creeping Phlox or Moss Phlox, is a perennial groundcover plant renowned for its vibrant spring bloom. - This illustration showcases the plant's characteristic habit of forming thick mats of foliage, with needle-like leaves that are a deep, rich green. - The flowers are depicted in shades of pink and white, each with a darker center and five rounded petals, radiating from a central point to form a classic phlox shape. - The plant is shown in bloom, with a dense cluster of flowers creating a striking display of color. - The image also details the fibrous root system of Phlox Subulata, indicating its ability to anchor into the soil and spread across the ground. - Creeping Phlox is often used in gardens for its carpet-like appearance and its profusion of springtime flowers.
