Painting Description
Hemerocallis fulva, commonly known as the tawny daylily, is a perennial herbaceous plant in the family Asphodelaceae. This species is native to Asia, including regions such as China, Japan, and Korea, and has been widely naturalized in other parts of the world, particularly in North America and Europe. The plant is renowned for its striking, trumpet-shaped flowers that exhibit a vibrant orange hue, often with a darker central stripe, which bloom for a single day before withering, hence the name "daylily."
The tawny daylily is characterized by its robust, clump-forming growth habit, with long, arching, grass-like leaves that can reach up to 90 cm in length. The flower stalks, or scapes, rise above the foliage, bearing multiple buds that open sequentially, ensuring a prolonged flowering period from late spring to midsummer. Each flower typically measures 7-12 cm in diameter and consists of six tepals arranged in a radial symmetry.
Hemerocallis fulva has been a popular subject in botanical art and literature due to its aesthetic appeal and horticultural value. One notable depiction of this species is found in "Les Liliacées," a monumental botanical work by the renowned French artist Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Published between 1802 and 1816, "Les Liliacées" comprises over 500 plates illustrating various members of the lily family and related plants. Redouté's meticulous and lifelike illustrations have been celebrated for their scientific accuracy and artistic beauty, making significant contributions to botanical studies and the appreciation of plant diversity.
In addition to its ornamental use, Hemerocallis fulva has been utilized in traditional medicine and cuisine in its native regions. Various parts of the plant, including the flowers, buds, and tubers, are edible and have been incorporated into dishes for their nutritional and purported medicinal properties. However, it is important to note that some individuals may experience allergic reactions or gastrointestinal discomfort from consuming daylily parts.
Overall, Hemerocallis fulva stands out not only for its horticultural charm and adaptability but also for its cultural and historical significance, as captured in the exquisite illustrations of Pierre-Joseph Redouté's "Les Liliacées."
