Nature Walk 16 months ago

I went on a nature walk with my mom this evening and it helped me identify a few more plants and flowers around the neighborhood :]

this picture above is a “Cycas revoluta (Sago Cycad), is a cycad native to southern Japan. Though often known by the common name of King Sago Palm, or just Sago Palm, it is not a palm at all, but a type of gymnosperm.”

Hippeastrum aglaiae 17 months ago

I took this picture in my grandmothers yard. She is very wise when it comes to flowers and plants. She told me it was an Amaryllis but after lookin it up i found out that

“Amaryllis is a monotypic (only one species) genus of plant. The single species, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of South Africa. It is often confused with the Hippeastrum, “

so these flowers are actually Hippeastrum
