Flamelily🥀

Origins of the Flame lily!




The plants were first introduced to England in the late 1600s, and cultivation began in the 1700s. In the 1940s, the flowers received international attention when a young then-Princess Elizabeth received a jeweled brooch shaped like a gloriosa lily on a trip to then-Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).
They are native in tropical and southern Africa to Asia, and naturalised in Australia and the Pacific as well as being widely cultivated.They are also known as Gloriasa superb.
