What is the name of the red flower that grows only after a fire in the cape, south africa?

It belongs to the genus Cyrtanthus and the family Amaryllidacae and encompasses 60 species and is native to South Africa.


The name Cyrtanthus is derived from Greek,kyrtos meaning curved and anthos meaning flower


Many members of this genus are noted for their fast flowering response after fires (hence the name Fire lily)and some will flower in just over a week after been exposed to a fire.


Cyrtnathus Odorus and Cyrtanthus Guthrieae are found in the southern cape and Cyrtanthus Ventricosus in the south western cape and these are winter growing whilst the summer growing variety are found mostly in the northern and eastern parts of the country

The plant is called the Fire Lily, Cyrtanthus ventricosus and is nothing at all to do with Proteas!





Quote:


Several members of the genus are noted for their extremely rapid flowering response to natural bush fires, hence the common name, fire lily for several species. Indeed, species like Cyrtanthus contractus, widespread in the eastern half of South Africa, as well as C. ventricosus from the south western Cape, and C. odorus from the southern Cape, only flower after fires. The flowers of C. ventricosus are known to reach full flowering stage in just nine days following a fire!
Reply:hi yes its of the family proteacea named after the God Proteus who could change his form at will, because proteas have such different forms.
Reply:Almost certainly belongs to the genus Protea, could be Protea cynaroides (King Protea) or Protea barbigera (Giant Wooly Protea).





Proteas grow all over the dry southern cape and their seeds are only released from the seed pods by the charring effects of fire (heat causes seed pods to expand and rupture, allowing seeds to escape). Although this fire kills the parent plant, the seeds drop into ash-rich soil which has been purged of competing plants by the fire and so have an excellent start in life.

'Naked Lady' Amaryllis meets your description. I have seen them on the Central Coast of California.
Reply:I have these flowers in my yard. I don't know the botanical name for them but I call them Surprise Lillies. Some people call them Resurection Lillies. The green leaves pop up in the early spring then die off. Later in the summer long stems shoot up and have light pink flowers on them. Hince the name Surprise!!!

What is the name of the necklace that you grow a flower in?

Whenever I was little I had a necklace that had a little plastic pendent. Inside the pendant was gel and seeds. Eventually, the seeds would sprout and turn into a flower. I cannot find the name for this anywhere and I would like to know if any of them still exist.

Do you think Sky Flower is a cool name?

I think it's kind of dorky, but that's just me.

Do you think Sky Flower is a cool name?
No...Sure it's original....but really kind of dorky and corny, in my opinion.
Reply:I think it is sweet, obviously a female. You would need to be happy with the name Sky. Sky Flower or Skyflower, would be used on occasion, leaving you with Sky. Which is very pretty in itself!


Good Luck!
Reply:No, I hate it.
Reply:Only if you were living in the 60's
Reply:YES that is an amazing name because it's from the George A. Romero movie, and he is my favorite director ever!
