Comments:
Chlorophytum 'Fireflash' or Sierre Leone Lily or Tangerine
or Mandarin Plant
or Fire Glory
is an exotic
tropical perennial bulb plant with a contrasting bright orange midveins
on green foliage.
This exciting glowy plant belongs to the Spider family and is easily grown from seeds.
Sierre Leone Lily
looks very attractive grown in containers as houseplants with good
lighting or as an outdoor shade plant in warmer areas, giving it plenty
of water.
I was so excited when
Chlorophytum 'Fireflash' first caught my eyes and I brought
it home with me. |
