I've always been fascinated by this flower, the way it looks the way lives, even the name is beautifull to me. So why not write somehting about it😊. A little piece of appreciation for this stunning part of nature. For a Lily I'm often Mistaken: A nickname for this flower is Flame Lily, but in truth is this flower not at all a Lily. Invading Northeast, Down Under: The Gloriosa is an invasive species in Queensland (NORTHEAST) of Australia and a nickname for Australia is The Land Down Under. Wistfully Dissapearing in the South: Sadly, this flower is near extinction in India, India is in the SOUTH of Asia.
