EDITORS COMMENTS
Moores Crinum, Crinum moorei: A Stunning Tropical Beauty This exquisite woodcut print showcases the breathtaking beauty of Moores Crinum, scientifically known as Crinum moorei. The image, created by the skilled hand of Worthington G. Smith, was published in Jean Linden's Illustration Horticole in Brussels in 1888. Crinum moorei is a tropical plant that hails from South Africa. Its large, elegant white flowers with a pink blush and a sweet fragrance are a sight to behold. The plant's foliage is as impressive as its blooms, with long, strap-shaped leaves that can grow up to 2 meters in length. The woodcut technique used to create this print captures the intricate details of the Crinum moorei's petals, veins, and leaves. The use of woodblock printing adds a textured and tactile quality to the image, making it a true work of art. Botanical illustrations like this one were essential for the dissemination of knowledge about new and exotic plants during the late 19th century. They allowed horticulturists, botanists, and collectors to identify and study plants from different parts of the world. The Crinum moorei is not only a beautiful addition to any garden but also holds cultural significance. In South Africa, it is known as the "Mother-of-Millions" due to the numerous offsets that grow from the base of the plant, making it an excellent choice for propagation. This woodcut print is a testament to the beauty and importance of botanical illustrations in documenting and celebrating the natural world. It invites us to appreciate the intricacies of the Crinum moorei and to marvel at the wonders of nature.
