EDITORS COMMENTS
Phlox stolonifera, commonly known as creeping phlox, is a beautiful and vibrant flowering plant belonging to the Oleaceae family, specifically the subfamily Oleoideae and the order Lamiales. This exquisite illustration of creeping phlox is a masterpiece by the renowned Belgian botanical artist Pierre Joseph Redoute (1759-1840). The illustration is part of Redoute's publication "Choix des plus belles fleurs" (The Most Beautiful Flowers), published between 1827 and 1833. Creeping phlox is an eudicot, angiosperm, and a member of the Ericales order. It is characterized by its creeping stems that root at the nodes, allowing the plant to spread and form dense mats. The plant produces clusters of small, five-petaled flowers that bloom in shades of pink, purple, and white. The flowers have a distinctive sweet fragrance, reminiscent of lilacs, making them a popular choice for gardens and landscaping. Redoute's illustration captures the intricacies of the creeping phlox's flowers in stunning detail. The delicate petals are depicted with precise lines and shading, revealing their intricate veining and texture. The illustration also highlights the plant's stems and leaves, showcasing their distinctive features and providing a sense of the plant's overall structure. This illustration is not only a beautiful work of art but also an important contribution to the scientific record of the natural world. Redoute's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy make his works invaluable resources for botanical research and education. The creeping phlox illustration is a testament to Redoute's skill as an artist and his dedication to documenting the natural world.
