    I'm stumped with the identification of the plant / flower. It blooms each year in late spring. Any help is greatly appreciated. Chris

    Answer

    Dear Chris, thank you for the nice image. I do not know what species of plant this is except that it appears to be a species in the Amaryllidaceae (as evidenced by the flowers with six petaloid tepals, the inflorescence, and the inferior ovary). Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. We are happy to entertain any plant-related question, but some species originate from distant lands that are not within our region of expertise. I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you.
