 蕨类植物狂热症--蕨类植物的疯狂

Paul King

蕨类植物狂热(pteridomania)是维多利亚时代的一大热潮,是19世纪40年代至19世纪90年代英国人对蕨类植物和所有类似蕨类植物的巨大热爱。 蕨类植物狂热 "一词是《水宝宝》的作者查尔斯-金斯利在1855年的《Glaucus, or the Wonders of the Shore》中提出的。

维多利亚时代是业余自然主义者的全盛时期。 蕨类植物狂热一般被认为是英国人的怪癖,但在它持续的时候,蕨类植物的疯狂侵入了维多利亚时代生活的各个方面。 蕨类植物和蕨类植物的图案到处出现;在家庭、花园、艺术和文学中。 它们的形象装饰在地毯、茶具、室内盆栽、花园长椅上,甚至是奶油饼干。

最初在19世纪30年代,作为只吸引人的植物进行销售。 聪明 人,蕨类植物很快成为一种全国性的现象。

要收集蕨类植物--越奇特越好--你需要一个蕨类植物园。 这通常是一个可以栽培和展示蕨类植物的玻璃温室,但也有户外蕨类植物园,以哥特式丛林公园的形式创建,如德文郡的Bicton公园。 这是英国最早的蕨类植物园之一,于19世纪40年代初建成。 蕨类植物园中战略性地放置了巨石和大石块创造了一个凉爽、湿润的根部通道,而周围的树木和灌木则为蕨类植物提供了阴凉和保护。

德文已成为 维多利亚时代蕨类植物爱好者的目的地,因为该郡是英格兰新发现的本地蕨类植物品种的最重要来源。

维多利亚时代的蕨类植物被设计成令人毛骨悚然的怪异造型,而比克顿的蕨类植物当然有一种原始的外观,对于蕨类植物来说,这是一个合适的环境,甚至比第一只恐龙在地球上行走还要早1.3亿年。

如果您买不起蕨类植物,但又想收集蕨类植物,那么就可以用装满干燥标本的蕨类植物相册来收集。 许多时尚的家庭都有一个Wardian箱(类似日光浴室的玻璃箱)来展示蕨类植物的收藏。

出现了许多帮助识别最理想的本地蕨类植物的书籍,蕨类植物狩猎聚会成为流行的社交场合。 这种吸引力也可能与这些聚会为年轻夫妇提供了在非正式环境中见面的浪漫机会有关

这股热潮持续了约50年,然后逐渐减弱,许多蕨类植物被弃置不用,年久失修。 这似乎没有什么特别的原因:但它确实与维多利亚女王的去世和20世纪初相吻合,所以也许蕨类植物只是变得不合时宜:"所以上世纪,我亲爱的"。
