Recently, when I was wandering in the Park of Site of Eight Diagram Field, I saw a flash of red in the grass and it was her. If gardenia belongs to the graduation season in May and June, then it belongs to July on the lunar calendar. Here's the question: What's the Name of These Flowers?

Lycoris Radiata Herb: like daffodils and hyacinths, the Lycoris plant also has a nearly spherical bulb with a diameter of 1-3 cm. It usually blooms in July to September and bears fruit in October.

The stem is about 30 cm high, and the umbel has 4-7 flowers. It has various kinds of flowers, such as red, pink, white, yellow and other colors. Speaking of Lycoris, I remember there's a saying that "the leaves and flowers are separated from each other forever", which means that most of their flowers and leaves do not appear at the same time. Generally speaking, Lycoris leaves in autumn, which is long and has waves upon them.

The Lycoris plant is afraid of direct sunlight, so most of them grow in the wet hillside and gully side. When the Lycoris grow all over the hill or the grassland, the scene is amazing and spectacular. Is is originally grow in China and Japan, and later widely cultivated around the world, for it has a high horticultural value.

The bulb of lycoris contains more than ten kinds of alkaloids such as lycorine, polyanisine and so on. As a result, it is poisonous, especially the bulb part. If you touch it, be sure to wash your hands carefully. Meanwhile, it has certain medicinal values. It can be used for detoxification, expectoration, diuresis, vomiting, insecticidal. However, you should follow doctor's advice carefully when you plan to use it.

When I was in junior high school, I read a novel named Manjusaka written by Cang Yue. The localite of Hangzhou used to call it: Cockroach Flowers. When I was a young girl, my grandma usually told me stay away from the flowers, for it is poisonous and ominous. Otherwise, Manjusaka is one of the four flowers in Fahwa Classic.

In folklore, she is the flower who willingly plunges into hell. Unexpectedly, she was sent back by the demons. but they agreed to let her staying on the side of Huang Quan Road. She would give the spirits who left the world a guide and comfort.

There'a rumor that the snow-white Mandala is in full bloom on the road to the Heaven, while the blood-red Manjusaka is in full bloom on the road to hell. The two kinds of flowers both represent death, but have very different meanings: one symbolizes new life and hope, while the other represents depravity and confusion.

Frankly speaking, it's all about color interpretation.

Chinese Version

最近在八卦田遗址公园闲逛的时候，眼睛不经意间一瞥看到了草丛中闪过一抹红色，定睛一看原来是她。仔细一想，如果说栀子花是属于五六月份毕业季的，那么她就是属于农历七月的。现在又到了提问环节：这是什么花勒？

石蒜：像水仙花、风信子一样，石蒜科植物也有近球形的鳞茎，直径1-3厘米。花期通常在每年的7-9月，10月份结出果实。

花茎高约30厘米，伞形花序有花4-7朵，有红色、粉色、白色、黄色等多种颜色。提起石蒜，我记得曾经有句话叫“花叶永不见”，这就说明她们的花和叶子大多不会同时出现。一般来说，石蒜秋天的时候长出叶子，叶片狭长而成带状。

石蒜怕阳光直射，因此大多生长于阴湿山坡和溪沟边。单枝和成片都有，成片的非常壮观。原产于中国和日本，后来被世界各地广为栽培，具有较高的园艺价值。

石蒜的鳞茎含有石蒜碱、多花水仙碱等十多种生物碱，具有一定的毒性，尤其是鳞茎部分。如果你接触过它，务必要仔细清洗双手。同时，它又具有一定的药用价值。可以用来解毒、祛痰、利尿、催吐、杀虫等。只是，使用时要谨遵医嘱，不可以随意听信偏方。

我大概是在初中的时候，看了一部由沧月写的名叫《曼珠沙华》的小说，才真的认识到石蒜。在那以前，杭州人习惯称之为：蟑螂花。石蒜又被称作彼岸花，红色的那种叫做曼珠沙华，是《法华经》中的四花之一。

在民间传说中，她是自愿投入地狱的花朵。不料被众魔遣回，但仍不死心地徘徊于黄泉路上。众魔不忍，于是同意让她开在黄泉路上，给离开人界的魂们一个指引与安慰。传言，雪白的曼陀罗华盛开于天堂之路，而血红色的曼珠沙华布满在地狱之途。两种花同样代表着死亡，却有着截然不同的意义：一种象征着新生和希望，另一种则代表堕落和迷茫。

但其实说到底，不过是人们对颜色的解读罢了。
