When I was in Kalinga Philippines, I took it seriously to take photos as many as I can. There are so many wildflowers that you can see here, especially when hiking in the mountains. Even in my dwelling place, the owner has so many flowers in the surroundings. Then, one summer season I had seen a bloom that it is not common in my city. I took a picture of it and the local people named the bloom in their own dialect.
Last night, I am browsing my photos and found this bloom again. I had some research on the internet and finally, I can name it. The bloom is called “blood lily” or “football lily.” I used to call it fountain flower because of its head.
"Do you have a bloom like this?"

I had never seen this most beautiful of flowers Shavkat.
This makes me want to go there and see all the beauty of the places there.
It is so rich in color and so different to anything here.

@Shavkat Oh it would be interesting to know how it got there. It looks like little individual flowers in one big bloom. Almost like dancing fairies.
or ballerinas or stars even.

@TiarasOceanView I had read that it consists of more or less 100 flowers in one bulb.

Nearest flower I can think of is the Dandelion when it goes all white and fluffy and we call it a Dandelion Clock.
What my hair looks like sometimes in a morning.
