The beautiful and delicate Flame Lily is the national flower of Zimbabwe. I remember finding one growing in the wild and wanting to dig it up and plant it in our garden - I resisted the urge however because it was (and still is) a protected plant.
Isn't it superb?
Stunning
ReplyDeleteI'm biased but I agree - and it's a marvellous shot.
ReplyDeleteSuperb indeed!
ReplyDeleteLovely. Red is my favorite color & we have lots of different lilies here at my house in NY. (day lilies & oriental lilies)
