*Blush*
I took this photo about a week or 2 ago, when the flower was quite young and vibrant. Unfortunately their flowering has almost come to an end (they are March flowering bulbs). So without further ado, I introduce to you A Naked Lady. The bulb sends up a flower first, without any leaves. Which explains where the common name comes from, as the flowers come up 'naked'. They are quite a hardy bulb. They dont have to be dug up and left to air for half of the year, like most bulbs do. The flowers in this photo grow where there is little/no reticulation, they receive no love or maintenance, and they still show up every march and look beautiful. Also, a side note. In Australia, they are sometimes referred to as an Easter Lily, as the flowering sometimes coincides with Easter.
