This lovely plant is some kind of lily, but I can't remember the name. It likes shady areas, and is kept in one of the small seasonal rooms that surround the calendar gardens. Jon the gardener gave me one of these, and I have it on the screened in porch, no blooms on mine, but maybe one of these days.

Thank you for commenting, it's going to be a beautiful day here, and I hope it is for you as well.

I would like to dedicate this post to Marzena, alias SAM for her birthday which is today, she has not had alot of time for Caedes due to her work load, but SAM if you see this, I hope you had a great birthday.

It looks similar to Montbretia (Crocosmia) but not sure that is what it is.
Whatever it is it is a real beauty. I love the fiery colour.

Happy Birthday SAM :)

Raj is right Sandi these are Clivias and they are in the lily family. Rich deep color on this variety and very nice lighting.

Wonderful Foofy Friday image Sandi. Raj was our flower specialist this time.

With respect to SAM: I wish her a Happy Birthday and many years to come in a good health, the latter isn't a cliche as both SAM and I know the importance of a good health.

As I can provide SAM only with a RH (Remote Hug), I've instructed SAAB to give her a well deserved real extra hug! Hope he had understood me (He is clever enough).

I got a leaky shed I can let you have for $500 a month, the door is hanging by one hinge and it leans to the left, but it does have a great view of a junk pile. I only wish it was my trash pile.

Beautiful colours and good focus on the blooms, Sandi.
