Red Spider Lilies 曼珠沙华

Red spider lilies are the flowers of the Dead's Land --- or say hell, without the evil sense. In Asian myths, there is a long path from the Land of the Alive and the Land of the Dead. When people die, their souls go through this path to the beneath world, and along that path there grow beautiful, beautiful Red Spider Lilies. Therefore Red Spider Lilies are the flowers of the death.















Imagine a whole field of these mysterious wild flowers beside you on your way to die. Kinda creepy, but exotic.



Look at her. She is indeed elegant and graceful!
