Nerine 'Hera'
9th November 2017
I don't know if this is the real thing. If it is then it is a hybrid between N.bowdenii and N.sarniensis curvifolia, raised by Rose in 1912.
My plant doesn't match the illustration by David Fenwick in his online "African Garden" in 2003.
In the American Amaryllis Society yearbook for 1935 it says:
"A sister seedling to Aurora but rather earlier flowering; the flowers are of great size and fine form, brilliant rose pink. With a deeper rose stripe down centre of petals."
This one looks more like a hybrid between N.bowdenii and to me.
