Kaffir Lily

kaffir-lily.jpgDuring my after-lunchtime walks, I frequently pass a flowerbed with several varieties of perennial shrubs including this Kaffir Lily which gets these bright orange flowers in the spring and summer. I just bought one from Lowe’s for the patio, but it looks like we either need to put it indoors with the orchids or find a shady spot outdoors. I took this picture a couple of days ago with my little camera. Click for the 640×480 picture.

From WikiPedia:

Clivia miniata (also known as Bush lily or Kaffir Lily, is a species of clivia, from South Africa. It grows to a height of about 45cm in the shade of trees and shrubs, and flowers are red or orange, with a faint, but very sweet perfume.
