EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases the enchanting beauty of the Rosepink Zephyr Lily, or Pink Rain Lily (Zephyranthes carinata), also known as the Keeled-leaved Zephyr Flower. The delicate pink blooms of this rare and exotic plant are depicted in stunning detail, with each petal intricately rendered to capture their delicate, translucent quality. The Zephyranthes carinata is a member of the Amaryllidaceae family, native to Central and South America. It is characterized by its unique, keeled leaves, which are narrow and curved along the edges. This distinctive feature is beautifully illustrated in the engraving, adding to the plant's allure. The image was created by the skilled hand of Edwin Dalton Smith, with the engraving executed by Weddell. The illustration was originally published in John Lindley and Robert Sweet's Ornamental Flower Garden and Shrubbery, a renowned botanical work published in London in 1854. The Rosepink Zephyr Lily is a true marvel of nature, blooming only after heavy rainfall. Its ephemeral nature adds to its mystique, making it a sought-after addition to any botanical collection. This stunning engraving serves as a testament to the beauty and rarity of this exquisite flower, and a reminder of the natural wonders that exist in the world around us.
