We present a 50 year old diabetic female with uncontrolled metabolic status since past 10 years. She never underwent ocular examination and presented to us with drop in vision since 6 months. Her visual acuity was 6/36 in right eye and perception of light in left eye. Right eye had iris neovascularization. Left eye had a fibrovascular proliferation(FVP) resembling a lily flower floating in blood filled vitreous. After metabolic control and injection bevacizumab left eye underwent vitrrctomy. During surgery the flower was stretched by hyaloid and on trimming it 360 degree the flower prolapsed on disc and was trimmed and cauterized. The flat FVP along superior arcade was dissected using scissors and cutter. Endolaser was done and silicone oil used as tamponade. Post operative at 2 months visual acuity in left eye was 6/36. We report this unique appearance of FVP managed successfully with surgery.
