Nerine - Six Varieties
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning hand-coloured lithograph depicting six different varieties of Nerine bulbs, created by the skilled artist G. Severeyns for the "Encyclographie du regne vegetal: sertum botanicum," published between 1823 and 1837. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the beauty and diversity of these bulbs, which belong to the Amaryllidaceae family. The image showcases the intricate details of each Nerine variety, with their delicate petals unfurling in a vibrant display of color. The first variety, Nerine sarniensis, boasts rich pink blooms with a white center. The second variety, Nerine bowiei, features elegant white petals with a pink blush and a yellow center. The third variety, Nerine sarniensis 'Alba,' displays pure white flowers with a greenish tinge at the base. The fourth variety, Nerine sarniensis 'Candida,' boasts large, pure white flowers with a yellow center and a distinctive green stripe. The fifth variety, Nerine sarniensis 'Rubra,' is characterized by its deep red blooms with a yellow center and green stripe. Lastly, the sixth variety, Nerine sarniensis 'Variegata,' boasts white flowers with green and pink stripes, adding a unique and captivating touch to this collection. This lithograph is not only a beautiful addition to any botanical collection, but it also serves as an important historical record of these six Nerine varieties. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors make this a must-have for anyone interested in botanical art or the natural world. The "Encyclographie du regne vegetal: sertum botanicum" was a collaborative effort by a society of botanists, and this hand-coloured lithograph by G. Severeyns is a testament to their dedication to documenting the natural world in all its splendor.
