Description

Digital abstract of two red Amaryllis flowers, wide open, showing off their beauty. These flowers were professionally grown with the bulb living in water in a vase.

Amaryllis is a small genus of flowering bulbs, with two species. The better known of the two, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of the Western Cape region of South Africa. Plants of the genus Amaryllis are known as belladonna lily, Jersey lily, naked lady, amarillo, Easter lily in Southern Australia or, in South Africa, March lily due to its propensity to flower around March. This is one of numerous genera with the common name "lily" due to their flower shape and growth habit. However, they are only distantly related to the true lily. Each bulb produces one or two leafless stems, each of which bears a cluster of 2 to 12 funnel-shaped flowers at their tops. Each flower has six tepals (three outer sepals, three inner petals, with similar appearance to each other).
