no leaves, short stalk, not sure of the exact species, I think it was flowering a little out of season as there were no other blooms around.

I spotted this in Nam Nao National Park. It was my first time to see a Siam Tulip and I was very excited. I spotted it under some fallen pine needles along a trail in the park. I cleaned up the area around it for a clear shot. I had seen photos of entire fields covered in Siam Tulips at parks in the area but it was the not the right time of year when I was there.

Thanks ceherzog and Mayra! Was very cool to see it in the wild.
Wow! Great series!
How nice to see this in the wild! I'm not sure of the species but we have a Curcuma similar to this cultivated in FL.
