GLORY LILY…
I was given this Gloriosa Rothschildiana by a friend, to photograph.
Also known as Climbing Lily and Flame Lily, the Gloriosa Rothschildiana is probably best known as the Glory Lily.
This aptly named flower is strange and exotic looking, boasting 4-5 inch blooms with wavy-edged petals that face downwards in bud, but grow to reflex backwards, as though blown back by a strong wind.
Ruby red petals with yellow bases and edges look as though these flowers are on fire.
The bright green stamens and pistil are extremely prominent, with trailing sturdy stems and lush green leaves tipped with tendrils to aid in climbing.
As a native of South Africa, the Glory Lily grows fast-growing vines and can climb up to 8ft on a fence or trellis in warm weather.
Wishing you a beautiful day and as always, thanks for visiting, Magda (*_*)
