• DESCRIPTION: This hand-colored lithograph of the Nasturtium (Tropaeolum Jarrattu) was drawn and rendered on stone by S. Holden. First published in "Paxton's Magazine of Botany," the artwork highlights the delicate beauty of the Nasturtium with the meticulous detail typical of botanical illustrations from this period. Native to South America, Tropaeolum Jarrattu is known for its vibrant, funnel-shaped flowers that come in a range of warm hues, including bright orange, yellow, and red. Thriving in well-drained soils and full sunlight, it typically blooms from late spring to early fall. As a member of the Tropaeolaceae family, Tropaeolum Jarrattu is a popular choice for ornamental gardens due to its colorful flowers and trailing, vining growth habit, which adds a dynamic visual element to garden landscapes.
