EDITORS COMMENTS
Star squill, or Scilla amoena, is a stunning and elegant bulbous perennial plant that belongs to the family Asparagaceae. This beautiful handcoloured lithograph is an exquisite representation of the star squill, taken from Diederich von Schlechtendal's German Flora (Flora von Deutschland), published in Jena, Germany, in 1871. The star squill is native to the Mediterranean region and is characterized by its distinctive, bell-shaped, blue or violet flowers, which are adorned with a distinctive white star-like marking at their centers. These flowers bloom in the late winter and early spring, bringing a burst of color to gardens and landscapes that may still be in the midst of winter's grip. The plant's bulbs are small and round, with a diameter of about 1-2 centimeters. They are typically planted in the fall, and the plant will emerge from the ground in the spring, sending up slender stems that bear the beautiful flowers. The star squill is a popular addition to gardens, particularly in regions with mild winters, due to its attractive flowers and ease of cultivation. It prefers well-drained soil and partial shade, making it a versatile and low-maintenance choice for gardeners. This handcoloured lithograph is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of plant life. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors used in the illustration bring the star squill to life, allowing us to appreciate its beauty in a way that words alone cannot convey.
