I think it is just wonderful to see such a beautiful plant out in the wild. Most of us in the US have become so accustomed to hybridized plants, we forget where they all come from. Very nice photo. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, PotEmUp.

I agree with you. For example with Alstroemerias: although the hybrids are lovely, I have never seen one that is as beautiful as the species.

You are the one to blame for my addicition to photography! Thank YOU for that.

Hugs,

Ursula

Yes Kaleem, it's a bulb plant.

I would say the flowers are some 2 1/2" (6cm) to 3" (7 1/2 cm) wide.
