Barbara Jeppe

Barbara Jeppe's recognition came from the botanical and horticultural communities who understood the precision and artistry of her work. The Cythna Letty Gold Medal, named after another pioneering South African botanical artist, is a prestigious honor that places her among the country's finest illustrators. Her books remain standard references, and the 2017 publication of her Amaryllidaceae study, completed by her daughter, stands as a testament to her enduring influence.
