Opened

The flower has opened and it does look like some sort of lily, but what variety I don't really know. I love the colour.

I don't think it will survive long because it has been so hot today and tomorrow is going to be even hotter I believe.

Luckily I have bounced from one air conditioned building to another today as it has been so hot.

I managed to survive taking a photo of the flower this morning without any further injuries.

It reminds me of an Easter Lily but it's red. However your flowers are different from ours, so I can't really offer a suggestion. I wonder how it ended up in your garden!

[Valerie Chesney]

It's lovely but, I have no ideas...
