Dear Dalia, this is an Amaryllis lily... Family: *Amaryllidaceae* originated in SOUTH AMERICA ...
(this name Amaryllis is also a misnomer..true Amaryllis is "naked lady" lily from South Africa...no leaves when it flowers in the wild) .. ....true name of your red lily is *Hippeastrum* Easter lily by tradition is the white lily ** Lilium longiflorum**... Family: Liliaceae originated in JAPAN... Your red lily like flower flowered in April here in cal, (easter time) but traditionally in northern climates... its forced as an indoor flowering plant when outside is dark and drab in winter... its not always an April bloomer... hope this helps Usha di === On Jun 20, 11:08 pm, Dalia Set <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Friends > > This Lily is from my roof garden - in April 2011. > > Broad petals - dark red white fine stripes.
