Football lily. Haemanthus multiflorus, Amaryllidaceae. With its numerous scarlet flowers grouped in a large round umbel on top of 30 cm long stalk, Haemanthus multiflorus is a novelty. The plant comes from tropical Africa and flowers in summer, when it is normally leafless. The arrival of the flowers every year will be a welcome surprise as they appear when the plants have completely "disappeared". They were in full bloom in Mysore last week. However the photographs attached were taken in Chennai a few years back.
