Red & White

Although most of the red spider lilies in Kinchakuda Manjushage Park (Saitama Prefecture, Japan) are of a fantastical crimson creating a magical scarlet carpet under the tree canopy, there are a few white spider lilies growing here and there.

When taking up-close shots like this one, be forewarned that spider lilies are actually poisonous to eat and can cause a rash if you touch them. Don’t let that stop you from bringing children as this will be a good opportunity to teach children to not to touch them, since they can grow wild along sidewalks, near cemeteries, etc.
