The first row introduces us to "Chamaeorchis alpina Rich.," displaying the delicate structure of alpine orchids, followed by "Herminium Monorchis R. Br.," with its small yet intricate green flowers, and "Microstylis monophyllos Lindl.," notable for its singular leaf and unassuming floral spike. In the second row, "Malaxis paludosa Sw." brings to light the subtle beauty of marsh orchids, "Liparis Loeselii Rich." captures the translucent elegance of the twayblade orchid, and "Corallorhiza innata R. Br." concludes the set with its coral-like roots and unusual, leafless appearance. This collage offers a window into the past, portraying the intricate details and adaptations of these orchids, each rendered with scientific accuracy and artistic grace by Walter Müller. It stands as a historical record of Europe's botanical diversity, encapsulating the natural splendor of these species as they were observed over a century ago. See less
