The Gloriosa or Flame lily is one of my favourite plants. I have had one of these growing in a pot in the backyard for the last two years but have never yet seen any flowers from it. Last year everything was going right for flowers. The shoots emerged from out of the ground and it grew to the stage where the buds were starting to develop when a strong wind swept through and snapped the stems! ...So this picture was drawn from a book I have on bulbs... Maybe this summer I will finally see my own flowers.
