EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, created by the renowned naturalist Anna Maria Sibylla Merian in the late 1600s, showcases two exquisite members of the Iris family: Iris germanica on the left and Iris pallida on the right. The Iris is a large and diverse genus, belonging to the monocotyledonous order Iridaceae, and is commonly known as the flag iris or bearded iris due to the distinctive hairs on their falls, which give them their distinctive appearance. The Iris germanica, also known as the German or Blue Flag Iris, is depicted in a vibrant shade of blue, its long, elegant petals unfurling gracefully from a tall, slender stem. This iris is native to the Mediterranean and is widely cultivated for its beautiful flowers and hardiness. In contrast, the Iris pallida, or the White Iris, is illustrated in a more delicate and ethereal form, with its pale, lilac-tinged petals and slender stems. This iris is native to the eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East and is known for its delicate fragrance and elegant beauty. Merian's meticulous illustration captures the essence of these two irises, highlighting their unique characteristics and beauty. The illustration is held in the Botany Library at the Natural History Museum in London and is a testament to Merian's extraordinary talent as a naturalist and artist. This illustration is a reminder of the rich natural history of the past and the enduring beauty of the natural world.
