2015 Orchids Wall Calendar
In 1882, English horticulturist Benjamin S. Williams set a high standard for orchid literature when, with Robert Warner and Thomas Moore, he coauthored and published the first volume of The Orchid Album, Comprising Coloured Figures and Descriptions of New, Rare, and Beautiful Orchidaceous Plants. Notes on nomenclature and cultivation complemented hand-colored illustrations by botanical artist and lithographer John Nugent Fitch, a fellow of the prestigious Linnean Society. For this calendar, twelve species were selected from the tenth and eleventh volumes of The Orchid Album held at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
