About the Author

Graham Duncan is Curator of the Bulbous Plants Living Collection and a specialist horticulturist at the South African National Biodiversity Institute, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. He is the author of many popular articles, taxonomic papers and books, including The Genus Lachenalia (Kew Publishing, 2012). He has described over 40 plant taxa, is a regular contributor to Curtis's Botanical Magazine, and a recipient of the International Bulb Society's Herbert Medal, awarded in 2001. Barbara Jeppe was one of South Africa's foremost botanical illustrators, whose books include Aloes; Natal Wild-flowers; South Africa is my Garden; Spring and Winter Flowering Bulbs of the Cape. She was a meticulous and keen observer and single-minded in her research, with a broad knowledge of all aspects of ecology and geology, which gave her the ability to predict where a particular species would be likely to grow. Leigh Voigt has illustrated many books, and has held over fifteen solo exhibitions and participated in many group shows, both in South Africa and internationally. After her mother's death in 1999 she took on the painting of the Amaryllidaceae, resulting in the publication of this book.
