Finally the blood lily blooms - a once a year phenomenon ! A delight in the garden to "feast" the eyes on for every day for up to a week plus. Last year I did not catch the bloom as I was away on holiday. This time round, I managed to catch the bloom over a period of a few days. Unfortunately I did not catch it on camera when the bud first appeared. It is exciting to see the bloom gradually forms a perfect spherical shape, just wonder how the plant knows its calculations so well ? Something like the pyramid mystery ! For people who loves mathematical puzzles, the symmetrical shapes of plants continues to hold this mystery and keeps us fascinated...!

| Can the plant measure itself ? |
 |
| How does it know its limit? |
 |
| Is it chemistry at work? |

 |
| A Fire-ball! |
 |
| A perfect shape, not a single hair out of place ! |
 |
| Fascinating beauty - nature's mystery at work ! |

Its great. Have always been fascinated with this flower but have not attempted to cultivate it because of its once a year presentation.
