What a splendid surprise!
She couldn’t have picked a better weekend to show herself, the ‘Fourth of July’. Her vibrant red colors pop up so bright in commemoration of a great day! She blazons my garden and it’s the first object of one’s attention.
The Blood Lily.
I love gardening, and among my favorites flowers are the bulbs; I love planting them randomly. Such an exciting surprise as the stem pops up and the bud of the bloom appears: what will it by an amaryllis? a rain lily? a blood lily? a hiacinth? so exciting!
Here are some tidbits if you want to grow this beautiful flower:
Blood lily is a beautiful flowering bulb from tropical Africa. The spectacular flowerhead is a huge spherical umbel consisting of up to 100 flowers, held clear of the foliage at the end of a solitary stem. Each plant will produce only one flowerhead in a season. The plant may live for many years and will flower annually indoors. During the growing season the plant needs bright light, if possible direct sunshine for two hours daily.
