Every year this beautiful orange flower blooms in my backyard. I did not plant this flower anywhere else in my garden. I have no idea where it came from... It lays dormant all year long till the spring when them urges it upward. It is Hippeastrum striatum, from the family Amaryllidaceae, native to Brazil.
Todo o ano, este lindo lírio brota no meu quintal. Eu não plantei essa flor e nem sei como ela veio parar aqui... Seu bulbo fica adormecido no interior da terra até que na primavera, uma chuvarada a faz brotar. Ela é o Hippeastrum striatum, pertencente à família Amaryllidaceae, nativa do Brasil.

The light and shade in that last photo are captured so well. Just beautiful. As is your header photo. What a catch, just at the right time.
ReplyDeleteIt's a joy to have something bright in the garden. The green leaves of the trees are a gorgeous colour.

I've really enjoyed these beauties, Sonia! Wonderful your header image too!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so very BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteI particularly LOVE that Tree.....I know it will get fuller and I hope you show us more, as that happens, my dear....!
And that Header picture is GORGEOUS....It almost makes me weep...!
ReplyDeleteyour garden must be very hospitable that the amaryllis chose to reside there on its own.
ReplyDeletehope you are having a great summer.
What beautiful plants. With your tropical foliage, I suspect you're warmer in your winter than we are in our summer!
ReplyDeleteOi, Sônia!!
ReplyDeleteNão entendo nada de planta! Eu jurava que essa segunda imagem fosse de um Flamboyant :) Também não sei o nome da primeira planta e aqui em casa tem uma de flor branca. Floriu por esses dias... Boa semana!! Beijus,
So lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are beautiful. What a treat. And I love it when unexpected "visitors" arrive in the garden - I have a fuchsia that appeared one summer out of nowhere.
