EDITORS COMMENTS
Placea ornata, native to the central and southern regions of Chile, is a stunning and rare species of amaryllis. This exquisite botanical illustration is a hand-colored lithograph from the esteemed horticultural publication "Flore des Serres et des Jardins de l'Europe," produced by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in Ghent, Belgium, in 1874. The Placea ornata is depicted in all its glory, with its elegant white petals adorned with intricate red veining and its prominent, columnar inflorescence. The plant's leaves are also illustrated, displaying their long, narrow shape and glossy green surface. The Placea ornata is a bulbous perennial that thrives in cool, moist environments. It is known for its striking and fragrant flowers, which bloom in the late winter or early spring. The plant was first described by the French botanist Charles Lemaire in 1852, and it remains a cherished addition to botanical collections and horticultural pursuits. This beautiful illustration provides a glimpse into the rich horticultural heritage of the late 19th century, when botanical exploration and the exchange of plant specimens between Europe and the Americas were at their height. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of this hand-colored lithograph serve to showcase the Placea ornata's unique beauty and the skill of the illustrators and colorists who brought it to life.
