Jane, aren't they the coolest? I can't wait for mine to pop up.

I had to leave mine behind when I moved to Gainesville, but I've promised myself that I'll buy more. Just haven't done it yet. They are the coolest flowers!

Now being called Scadoxus. Note remarks about toxicity.

They are cool, they are in the front of my house and people ask me what it is. Thanks for the name!

This morning, the head of our HOA stopped by to drop something off and asked me what it was. She could see it from the road and at first it was a red light! She said she’s seen them elsewhere and no one ever knew the name. She said she wants to plant them.

Very cool flower.

Thanks again for the name!!

Thank you Embo (can't spell your entire name)!

I'm glad it is growing in my front yard and not available to my dog.

I did not plant this, it suddenly appeared. Maybe attached to a annual I planted, who knows where it came from.

It is a striking color and strange looking. My mailman had to drop off a box today and asked me what it was.

Thanks to everyone, I told him a 'blood Lily.'
