Amaryllis
- Amaryllis Belladonna – even the name sounds marvelous...
- One tall, elegant stem and a cluster of huge, red funnel-shaped flowers.
- In Greek mythology, Amaryllis was a shy shepherdess in love with a guy who only loved flowers. Because he would only love someone who brings him a new flower, Amaryllis pierced her heart daily for a month and from her blood sprang a crimson flower.
- It means “to sparkle”…true inner beauty emanating outwards…
- And native of the Western Cape region of South Africa (as am I)
