Finally

I planted this flower so many years ago that I have forgotten what it is called. This is one of only two that are blooming right now and I can't remember when the last time was that I saw one.

[Dawn Reilly]

Funky! Now I need to now what it is called!

[Leslie]

Looks a little spidey ... Great POV

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Well, I don't know. I only know names of animals and bugs most of the time. It is so pretty!

[katy]

@sunshinephoto5 Thanks, I am working on it!

[katy]

@lesip Prettier than the last one eh? It looks similar to a spider lily but I don'y think that is what it iscalled

[katy]

@espyetta Thanks. MB I am not even sure how to go about trying to find out what it is!

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful flower, great capture, and congrats for waiting for it to bloom.

[Leonie M]

It's beautiful. @bobfoto will probably know the name of it.

[katy]

@anazad511 Thanks, Ana! It was not so much waiting as forgetting it was planted there! ;~}

[katy]

@onie_m Thanks! I hope he can tell me!

[Gillian]

That is beautiful! Reminds me a bit of our pin-cushion proteas - but I know it's not. Great capture of the delicate stamens (or whatever!).

[Chrissie]

That is a beautiful flower. I love the unusual color. Fav!

[Daryl O'Hare]

It looks like a azalea of some sort, but the season would be all wrong. LOVELY Katy!

[Deb]

I love the color, Katy :D

[Jason Daniels]

reminds me of a cross between a Gloriosa Lily and a dwarf Poiciana (Caesalpinia). I'll keep looking.

[Deb]

Sounds like fun! http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/19347/join-me-for-a-photo-challenge

@sunshinephoto5 @lesip @espyetta @anazad511 @onie_m @kwiksilver @chrissieh @darylo @deburahiru @bobfoto Thank you every one for the comments. Leslie was right it is a Spider Lily https://www.google.com/search?q=spider+lily&oq=spider+lily&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j0l2j69i60j0l2.3224j0&sourceid Lycoris radiata. I am happy to finally see it blooming.

[katy]

@deburahiru I am considering this. I saw it on Mike's page earlier today where you brought it up to him.

[Darlene]

What a beautiful shot, Katy. Love the color and detail. FAV

[katy]

@darsphotos I am so glad you like it Darlene. Thanks for the FAV too!

[Jason Daniels]

@grammyn - Oh cool, I only know the white ones so this is a nice surprise!

[katy]

@bobfoto I'm so glad to show YOU something surprising!

[Jason Daniels]

@grammyn - always some learning going on here on the 365!

[katy]

@bobfoto Yes but usually I am the one doing the learning.

[Jason Daniels]

@grammyn - we are all guilty of learning here.

[katy]

@bobfoto good to know I am not alone!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

So delicate...super colours!

[Cheryl Sim]

Well done on your production. Both planting and snapping! What a lovely flower. Beautiful!

[Diane]

[katy]

@silverlight ;~} Thanks, Cheryl. Sometimes putting off until tomorrow pays off!

[katy]
