天山雪蓮, snow lily
Legend has it that the Snow Lily of Tien Shan 天山雪蓮 can save the near dead or, prolong life. It is very rare for anyone to see a Snow Lily, not even once in a life time. As a teenager, I have read so much about this miracle flower in kungfu stories. This is the first time I see a photo!
