Like all nerines (including Nerine bodwenii), Nerine pudica is native (and endemic) to South Africa. Floristically speaking, Nerine pudica is found within the bounds of the Cape Floristic Region, a biodiversity hotspot. There, it is one of roughly nine thousand species of plants that occur in an area one-third the size of the United Kingdom. For comparison's sake, the entire UK flora contains roughly fifteen hundred species of plants (source: Calflora.net's Flora of the Western Cape).
There are between twenty-three and thirty species of Nerine; you can read a brief account of why there is not a firm number here.
Photography resource link: The Art of Disconnection, an article by Niall Benvie on Nature Photographers Online. The piece starts out with a discussion on the recognition (or lack thereof) of the artistic merit of nature photography and ends with a commentary on the decline of natural history in education. I'll let you decide if the transition between the two points is a smooth one.
Years ago,visiting family in Guernsey (and being originally from South Africa),I was fascinated seeing the acres of Nerine being grown mainly under glass, for the florist industry in Europe.
The Guernseymen claimed it native to their island. Further sleuthing found the 'story' of a ship carrying bulbs of the newly discovered Nerines from South Africa back to England,a few centuries ago,going down in that sea and the crates washing up on the shores of Guernsey....hence their claim.Truth or fiction?..I know not.
