    Amaryllis Belladonna, commonly known as Belladonna Lily or Naked Ladies, is a perennial flowering plant species in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is native to Cape Province in South Africa but has become naturalized in many regions around the world. The plant is known for its large clusters of fragrant, trumpet-shaped pink flowers that bloom on tall, leafless stems in late summer. The flowers are usually followed by an attractive fountain of strap-shaped, green foliage in the fall. Amaryllis Belladonna can be toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation or an allergic reaction. It is often grown as an ornamental plant in gardens for its striking flowers.

  1. Amaryllis Belladonna

    Amaryllis is a small genus of flowering bulbs, with two species. The better known of the two, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of the Western Cape region of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest area between the Olifants River Valley to Knysna. For many years there was confusion amongst botanists over the generic names Amaryllis and Hippeastrum, one result of which is that the common name "amaryllis" is mainly used for cultivars of the genus Hippeastrum, widely sold in the winter months for their ability to bloom indoors. Plants of the genus Amaryllis are known as belladonna lily, Jersey lily, naked lady, amarillo or, in South Africa, March lily due to its propensity to flower around March. This is one of numerous genera with the common name "lily" due to their flower shape and growth habit. However, they are only distantly related to the true lily, Lilium.
