EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured lithograph depicts a stunning hybrid Clivia, specifically a cross between Clivia cyrtanthiflora (Imantophyllum cyrtanthiflorum), Clivia miniata, and Clivia nobilis. The Clivia is native to South Africa and is part of the Amaryllidaceae family, known for its distinctive bell-shaped flowers. The hybrid Clivia cyrtanthiflora, also referred to as the 'Kaffir Lily,' is a result of the natural hybridization that occurs in the wild between Clivia miniata and Clivia nobilis. This particular specimen showcased in the lithograph is a beautiful example of the vibrant colors and intricate patterns that can arise from such a cross. The image is taken from "Flowers of the Gardens and Hothouses of Europe," a comprehensive botanical work published in Ghent, Belgium, by Louis van Houtte and Charles Lemaires in 1870. The meticulous attention to detail in this handcoloured lithograph highlights the artists' dedication to accurately capturing the essence of the Clivia hybrid. The Clivia's striking beauty and hardiness have made it a popular ornamental plant for gardens and hothouses across Europe and beyond. Its ability to thrive in various climates and conditions has contributed to its widespread cultivation and appreciation. This historic print serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Clivia hybrid and the importance of botanical documentation in preserving and celebrating the natural world.
