Dendrobium leechianum

by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander

Return to the days of "Orchidelirium" through the Victorian era with this stunning lithograph featured in the groundbreaking book by Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, entitled Reichenbachia. The particular plate features Dendrobium leechianum, which is a striking hybrid that displays an elegant combination of waxy white petals and lush velvet purple throats. Created via the difficult process of chromolithography, the colors still retain their vibrancy even after more than a century.
