No, I was not trying to swear when writing this. I was just describing the Blood Lily (or Fireball Lily, or Powderpuff Lilly, or Mnduze in isiZulu, scientific name: Scadoxus multiflorus), a beautiful red and yellow flower which can occasionally be seen on Thanda Safari.
Yesterday morning I came across this magnificent specimen along a mountainous road. The species likes moist, shady habitats. Most wild flowers in the South African wilderness are quite small, so seeing this large lily is a special treat.

Beautiful. We had a good time when we visited a few years ago. I enjoyed my photo time with you.
