Explanation
amaririsu アマリリス Amaryllis
Amaryllis belladonna
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Amaryllis
is a monotypic genus of plant also known as the Belladonna Lily or naked ladies. The single species, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest region near the Cape. It is often confused with Hippeastrum, a flowering bulb commonly sold in the winter months for its ability to bloom indoors.
The botanic name Amaryllis is taken from a shepherdess in Virgil's pastoral "Eclogues," from the Greek (Latin amarysso) meaning "to sparkle."
As a flower symbol it has come to mean "Dramatic".
The plant is also known as the "Jersey Lily" after Lily Langtry.

中岡敏雄 Nakaoka Toshio
The latin name means shining, sparkling, and it can represent health and well-being. Nakaoka was ill at the time when he wrote this haiku and had to take his pulse regularly. totototo is quite a fast pulse for him, tokutoku would be a normal, slow pulse. And when he looked up, his eyes fell on the strong, energetic, healthy flower.
