Amaryllis

Often mistaken for a lily, commonly known as Beladonna lily, is not a true lily. It’s a native of the Western Cape region of South Africa. The glittery petals are due to conical epidermal cells. These cells help shed water and provide more traction for bees.

Commonly known as little white soldiers, the inflorescence exhibits a spiral phyllotaxis, and is a classic example of the Fibonacci sequence appearing to yield optimal packing of the buds.


Pistil and Anther

Sticky Stigma for pollen to land to.
