Description
Spider Lilies are flowering perennial plants that grow from a bulb. The flowers can be red, white, yellow, or orange. A unique characteristic of these plants is that the leaves and the flowers never appear on the plant at the same time. Often used in flower arrangements for funerals, these plants have a long association with cemeteries and the afterlife.
Species of Spider Lilies
Surprise lily
The surprise lily is a natural hybrid of lycoris radiata and lycoris chinensis. One distinguishing feature of these plants is its leaves and flowers never develop simultaneously. These plants, which are frequently used in funeral flower arrangements, have long been associated with cemeteries and the afterlife.
Golden spider-lily
The golden spider-lily has leafless spears with bright yellow flowers that attract butterflies, especially in the late summer or early fall. It is native to Japan and China, and the flowers appear to spring magically from the ground. This plant grows in forest edges or subtropical grasslands.
Resurrection lily
Believed to have originated in Japan, the resurrection lily has fragrant, trumpet-shaped flowers that attract birds and butterflies. It is extensively grown as an ornamental and used in borders, gardens, and pots. If consumed, the roots of this plant have mild toxicity and can be dangerous to humans.
Red Spider lily
The red Spider lily is a bright summer flower that is prevalent throughout Asia. Though its appearance is cheerful, it is said to symbolize final goodbyes, and legend has it that it would often appear when two people parted forever. In addition, ancient Buddhist writings indicate that the Lycoris radiata was used to guide the dead through a cycle of rebirth.
Sanguinea spider lily
Before and after the tray (August Nakaba), the flower stem is stretched about 30 to 50 cm, and some flowers bloom at the tip of the branch. The petal is 6 orange in hermaphrodite.
