EDITORS COMMENTS
Nerine humilis, also known as the pale pink nerine or Cape nerine, is a beautiful and elegant bulbous plant native to South Africa. This exquisite botanical illustration of Nerine humilis was created by the skilled hand of William Herbert and masterfully engraved by Weddell for the prestigious Botanical Magazine, published by Samuel Curtis in London in 1823. The intricate details of the nerine's delicate petals, gracefully curved and adorned with a pale pink hue, are beautifully captured in this handcoloured copperplate engraving. The nerine is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, and its striking appearance has made it a popular ornamental plant in gardens around the world. The nerine's natural habitat is in the grasslands and forests of the Western and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa, where it blooms in the late summer and autumn months. The nerine's elegant and refined beauty has captivated botanists and gardeners for centuries, and this stunning illustration is a testament to the enduring allure of the natural world.
