Description

Blood was shed to take that picture :XD:

Unfortunately that is not my plant, but a free living specimen in a nearby forest. It is an endangered plant around here and to protect it (not only from people but dear love to chew on it =P ) a fence was built around it and btw it's a pain to take a picture without having the fence on it :XD:. The area around it is very muddy and also home to many digustingly large and hungry mosquitos =P.
My tripod was slipping in the mud (as I was doing myself :XD: ) and I was bitten many times by the bugs, but I stepped at least on one of them and my friend killed a few =P Unfortunely many pictures didn't turn out that great, but maybe I'll try tomorrow again (that is if it is still in bloom, because those flowers don't bloom as long as the lilies you can buy in the store).

The flower is also called Turk's cap lily.

Oh and big thanks to ~xxxGravemindxxx for killing the little monsters =P Anyway I bought mosquito spray today :D

It was definitely worth it, but the bugs were a pain :D I have never seen that plant before, so it's nice to have one here. Nie picture!
