On the occasion of Diwali, a natural flame...
Gloriosa superba, the name itself describes it well. It is native to the Indian and African subcontinents, but has also been introduced to the Americas.
It's Sanskrit name is Agnishikha, meaning flame tipped, and one of the common English name is also flame lily.
As such, it seemed to be an appropriate photo to post on the occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights.
