Lycoris radiata
This is a common flower: the "Spider Lily" There are 6 thin white petals evenly spaced around the flower. With six green filaments to go with them. And on the end of the filaments there are orange pollen covered Anthers. In the middle on longer filament, but it is actually a Style, with a Stigma at the end. This is used to attract insects, so they will pollenate the flower. The Style is used to transport Nectar from the Ovaries to the Stigma.
