Belladonna Lily

The Belladonna lily is mostly cultivated as an ornamental flower but really adds to the brown landscape of late summer in the Bay Area. This flower blooms in August thru September. It can be found in many locations in the hills of Temescal Creek, including the Uplands road section of our map. It is native to Cape Town in South Africa which makes sense why they like the San Francisco Bat climate; the plants are drought tolerant! Like most lilies, it grows from a bulb.
