I found these beautiful lilies growing in my friend's garden last Saturday. The Jersey Lily ~ Amaryllis belladona It is a neophyte introduced from South Africa and grown
in UK gardens and bulb fields of the Scilly & Channel Islands.It has escaped and become naturalised on waste ground and in sandy places.
Jersey Lily is a striking, bulbous, herb growing up to 60cm.
The flowers appear before the leaves.The flower stem is thick and robust.
The flowers are up to 10cm across and consist of 6 pink tepals. The lower 3 tepals are fused to form a trumpet shape. There are 6 stamens with pink filaments and large, creamy-yellow anthers.The long style and the lobed stigma are also pink. The leaves are green, flat, up to 3cm wide and 45cm long.
