Belladonna
Belladonna is a genus of bulbous flowering plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to South Africa. The most notable species, Amaryllis belladonna, is commonly known as the belladonna lily or 'naked lady' due to its leafless flowering stalks in summer. The name 'belladonna' derives from Italian, meaning 'beautiful lady.' The genus is now treated as a synonym of Amaryllis in modern taxonomy. Plants in this group produce showy pink flowers that attract pollinators including honey bees.
