Hurricane Lily
Lycoris Radiata, or commonly known as Red Spider Lily, Hurricane Lily, or Cluster Amaryllis is seemingly growing overnight at our front porch corner and everywhere around the neighborhoods. And this time of year hurricane season is usually at its peak, thus the name, I guess. At its current stage, the plant is leafless, only 18in / 40cm long stems with a cluster of about six flowers blooming at the end of each stem.
This is how a single flower looks like. It has six curled-up undulating petals and very long stamens and pistil giving a cluster of this a resemblance to spider. It's native to China and Japan. The picture below shows four clusters of blooming flower and one cluster still in buds.
