This is Clivia miniata, known locally as the #bushlily.

It is a flowering plant found within woodlands in #SouthAfrica.

Given ideal conditions it grows into large clumps and is resilient and doesn’t need much water to thrive.

It is a popular plant for shady areas and is commonly seen growing in older established suburbs in most Australian states.

It is also popular in New Zealand, Japan, China and the US, particularly California.

This was photographed in #parkville #Australia. It is in its initial stages of its flowering cycle.
