Lycoris radiata<\/i> (red spider lily<\/b>, red magic lily<\/b>) is a plant in the amaryllis family, Amaryllidaceae<\/font><\/a>, subfamily Amaryllidoideae<\/font><\/a>.[2]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> Originally from <\/font>China<\/font><\/a>, <\/font>Korea<\/font><\/a> and <\/font>Nepal<\/font><\/a>, it was introduced into <\/font>Japan<\/font><\/a> and from there to the <\/font>United States<\/font><\/a> and elsewhere. It is considered naturalized in <\/font>Seychelles<\/font><\/a> and in the <\/font>Ryukyu Islands<\/font><\/a>.[3]<\/font><\/a><\/sup><\/font>\u00a0\u00a0<\/div>\n

It flowers in the late summer or autumn<\/font><\/a>, often in response to heavy rainfall. The common name hurricane lily<\/b> refers to this characteristic, as do other common names, such as resurrection lily; these may be used for the genus as a whole.[4]<\/font><\/a>\u00a0<\/sup><\/div>\n
Lycoris radiata<\/i> is a <\/font>bulbous<\/font><\/a> <\/font>perennial<\/font><\/a>. It normally flowers before the leaves fully appear, on stems 30\u201370 centimetres (12\u201328\u00a0in) tall. The leaves are parallel-sided, 0.5\u20131 centimetre (0.20\u20130.39\u00a0in) wide with a paler central stripe. The red flowers are arranged in <\/font>umbels<\/font><\/a>. Individual flowers are irregular, with narrow segments which curve backwards, and long projecting stamens.[5]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>[6]<\/font><\/a><\/sup>[7]<\/font><\/a>\u00a0<\/sup><\/font><\/div>\n
The <\/font>bulbs<\/font><\/a> of Lycoris<\/a> radiata<\/i> are very poisonous. These are mostly used in <\/font>Japan<\/font><\/a>, and they are used to surround their paddies and houses to keep the pest and mice away. That is why most of them grow close to rivers now.[10]<\/font><\/a><\/sup> In Japan the Red Spider Lily signals the arrival of fall. Many <\/font>Buddhist<\/font><\/a> will use it to celebrate the arrival of fall with a ceremony at the tomb of one of their ancestors. They <\/font>plant<\/font><\/a> them on graves because it shows a tribute to the dead. People believe that since the Red Spider Lily is mostly associated with death that one should never give a bouquet of these <\/font>flowers<\/font><\/a>.[12]<\/font><\/a>\u00a0<\/sup><\/font><\/div>\n

Lily flower for ID<\/a> : 7 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2). <\/font><\/div>\n

\n
We brought few bulbs this year and now these flowers are results of that in our garden<\/font> at Tala Distt Umaria in M.P. <\/font>Photographed today morning.<\/div>\n
First picture is of buds and second of Flower.<\/div>\n
None of the books we have many Lily photographs to ID this.<\/div>\n
May we request you to please help.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Is this Red Spider Lily<\/b> Lycoris radiata<\/i>??<\/p>\n
Please validate<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I think yes.<\/p>\n
\n

Many thanks but other doubt is\u00a0Red Nerine Lily, Guernsey Lily, Berglelie \u00a0Botanical name: Nerine sarniensis<\/i>\u00a0\u00a0 Family: Amaryllidaceae<\/i><\/p>\n

Thats why I think we need to look at it again.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
This is Nerine sarniensis<\/i>.<\/p>\n
I have seen & photographed in Srinagar.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I agree with … ID.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
… ID is correct.\u00a0 It is Red Spider Lily<\/b> Lycoris radiata<\/i> for sure.<\/p>\n

For some reason I was looking up “tiger” in our database and this popped up… why ?<\/div>\n

i dont know unless the word appears somewhere in the file… REGARDLESS of the why?<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I think this a very nice case to illustrate the dangers of just matching up of pictures on google or some picture book…<\/div>\n

This is indeed Spider lily<\/b>\u00a0 Lycoris radiata<\/i> as … has written.<\/div>\n

Its NOT Nerine sarniensis<\/i>.<\/div>\n

this is the danger of just matching some pictures in a hurry… or with a preconceived notion<\/p><\/div>\n

take your time and\u00a0 study the structures… try to study the features and their shapes, color and numbers etc…<\/p>\n

every case is learning process…<\/div>\n
i love this exercise… hope you do too, that’s the only way to grow …<\/div>\n
and gain knowledge of Botany classification and id\u00a0 even when we are nonbotanist-enthusiasts\u00a0 like myself and countless others..<\/div>\n
ps\u00a0… it would be interesting if you had taken pictures of the bulbs then or now after flowering?<\/div>\n
could we see them please? thanks<\/p>\n
\n
many thanks for your kind words.<\/div>\n
In fact I did not photographed the bulbs as it’s growing in the garden.<\/div>\n
I will do it some time and post the pictures.<\/p>\n
