Greetings from Vanuatu

ImageWe are in Vanuatu at present and on a walk yesterday came across this beauty.  Have found out that it is commonly known as the Eucharist or Amazon Lily and a native of tropical South America.  It belongs to the Amaryllis  family therefore related to daffodils. The flowers were about 100mm  across and several to a stem.

I am sure that it is well known to many of you in warmer climates than New  Zealand.  It was such a gem to come across being so daffodil like!

regards to all,

Denise

  1. Denise it looks beautiful. I must admit it is the first time I have seen or even heard of it.

    Did you collect any pollen from this?  It has a nice smooth well formed perianth and is wonderfully early!
