More lilies

The red and white amaryllis suddenly flowered now, although it usually flowers in spring. The spider lily, which is relegated to a dark corner of my garden gives beautiful flowers everyday. The plant hunters of the eighteenth century were amazed by its shape and enchanted by its perfume!
Whenever there is a sprinkling of rain, the brave rainlilies open their flowers.
