Hedera teneriffis florens – colorized ivy with moth life cycle (GoGardenNow exclusive)
This reproduction of Hedera teneriffis florens presents a flowering ivy branch in authentic color, complete with its companion insects shown in various life stages. The deep green leaves and golden blooms contrast with the soft yellow and striped wings of the moth, while the caterpillar and chrysalis remind us of nature’s continual transformation. Both botanical and entomological details are faithfully rendered, offering a glimpse into the interconnected design of the natural world.
Originating from the work of Johannes Goedaert (1617–1668), Dutch naturalist and painter, this engraving exemplifies his groundbreaking union of science and art. Goedaert was one of the earliest to depict insects alongside their host plants, recording metamorphosis in a way that shaped the course of natural history illustration. His engravings remain a marriage of precision and beauty, treasured centuries after their creation.
This reproduction has been colorized to restore lifelike hues while preserving the antique character of the plate. Available only through GoGardenNow, it belongs to a curated series of rare botanical and natural history engravings.
