The beauty of the plant known as Angraecum Articulatum currently named as The Articulated Aerangis which thrives in the Madagascan wilds, is elegantly illustrated in this beautiful artwork. The painting was not only commissioned but also created under the direction of none other than "King of Orchids," Henry Frederick Conrad Sander.As always with Sanders' creations, this painting displays an immense level of attention to detail. It focuses on the distinctive hanging clusters of waxy flowers which have a five-point shape and an extended nectar spur typical of this orchid variety. The "articulated" stem as well as leathery leaves are depicted with the same remarkable level of accuracy.
