Image description: Jean Jules Linden, born in Luxembourg in 1817, began his career in botany as an orchid hunter for the Belgian government and later enjoyed success as a commercial horticulturist. His work Lindenia: Iconographie des Orchidées was originally issued in seventeen monthly volumes, each featuring four beautiful orchid lithographs and their descriptions. Linden is credited with introducing nearly eleven hundred orchid species to the European market and his studies of the flower dramatically changed the way Europeans grew them. Linden was one of the first naturalists to discover that different orchid species required varying growing conditions, rather than climates that were uniformly hot and humid.
