Blood lily

This is a Blood Lily. It is extremely rare to see this flower in the Andean region. After doing an extensive research , I came to the conclusion that it was the only specimen in Venezuela. The plant is originally from Africa, so it blew my mind when I saw it flowering in the wilderness (at 8200 ft above sea level). During 4 years, the plant only bloomed once, and just for one week. Scadoxus is a genus of only 9 species native to tropical Africa in the family Amaryllidaceae. This plant is also called Fireball Lily because of the spherical structure made by more than one hundred small red flowers.
