Gloriosa sp. flower (glory lily)

Description:

A 4-5 cm beautiful flower growing on a shrub not more than 5 ft tall.

Habitat:

Found in forest during rainy season

Notes:

My similar spotting here: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/136... Note the stamens here are going up towards the petals. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloriosa_(g...) says there are more than 38 species for Genus Gloriosa. Which one is this? In this flower, note the stamens are going away from the petals

Great pic. That's kinda creepy for a plant. Looks kinda like bloodied talons.
