naked ladyAmaryllis belladonna
Amaryllidaceae (formerly Liliaceae)
You know it's August in the Monterey area when naked ladies pop up everywhere. I just love pointing them out and saying the common name. I was surprised to find out that they are native to South Africa, b/c we have so many in people's yards, empty lots, and even right along the bay. This pic was taken along the Rec Trail near Hopkins Marine Station.
ps 09/09/09 - Naked ladies have all withered more than a week ago. They are truly an August bloom.
