Belladonna Lily

Belladonna Lily, Amaryllis Belladonna, a native of the Cape of Good Hope, a bulbous plant sending up in September leafless flower-stalks 18 inches high, bearing two or three pink, funnel-shaped blossoms. The strap-shaped leaves are produced later. The plant obtained its name in Italy from the blending of red and white in the flower as in the complexion of a beautiful woman.
