Lilies are considered as those cut flowers which enliven the
environment by their charismatic appearances with most beautiful
colors. It is one of the best flowers planted by most of the
gardeners depending on their survival conditions. Tuberose is
derived from a Latin word "Tuberosa" which means swollen with the
virtue of having tuberous roots that act as a storage organ for the
plant during dormancy. It is generally a night blooming and very
scented to the extent that almost all gardeners love to plant
tuberose in their gardens. The flower is grown for its appearance,
beauty, good keeping quality and sweet fragrance.Amaryllis is also
a commonly grown bulbous flower by the gardeners. The bulb produces
large, trumpet shaped flowers which have varied ranges of color
from pink, scarlet, apricot to white which look very beautiful with
their exotic appearances. Amaryllis is also considered as one of
the earliest blooming flower. It is one of the best flowers advised
for the gardeners to beautify their gardens during mid-winters
having good keeping quality as a vase flower. One can magnify the
view of their garden by planting such bulbous crops. The flower can
be planted easily in beds, pots, and rockery and in landscaping.
Belladona Lily is another common name for Amaryllis.
