Like pink fairies in the woods...
You can find them here and there...
Found a cluster of them:)
It's a Japanese traditional plant, called Lykoris Squamigera, late summer-blooming bulb of the Amaryllis family.
It doesn't have leaves, but it did. In early spring, the bulb produces leaves, but all of them fall before summer comes. Afterwards, it grows only a stem, then produces some flowers at the end of it. So, Lykoris Squamigera appears to be dead once, but comes to life again and produces such lovely flowers! That's why it has another name, like "resurrection lily" or "magic lily."
I think that this trumpet-shaped flower seems like fairy's skirt:)
Beautiful , it has poison, though...
Enjoyed Your post :)Thanks for a bit of light- heartedness and fairy dust -Denise
ReplyDeleteI have never seen this flower before, but it is a really magic lily with a fairy skirt, just beautiful!

It looks beautiful. I suppose it grows like colchicum, which first produces leaves in spring, these die in summer, and then in the fall it blooms.
ReplyDeleteThey really do look beautiful when grown in a group like that. Just like a fairy grotto!
ReplyDeleteKeity, awesome pictures you've shown! This amaryllis is very pretty although has poison.
