actually to celebrate the coming of spring, I planted two Hymenocallis
(Peruvian daffodil, or Ismene Festalis) in a pot and watered them in well
with warm water. I will start watering my blood lilies (Haemanthus
grandiflora) in a few days and hope to see little pointy red "tongues"
poking out of the pot's soil. And my Korean Crinum was very sneaky and is
blooming again. I was standing looking thru the french doors into the "den"
from our bedroom and right in my face was another huge bloom spike with huge
white stars open on it near the back of the plant! woo hoo! And we're not
preparing for summer sugar, we're readying ourselves for SPRING, summer is
MONTHS away!! (June 21st)g you don't have a source for yellow rain
lilies do you?
madgardener up on the ridge, back in Fairy holler, overlooking a stormy and
blue gray cloud caped English Mountain in Eastern Tennessee where we're
waiting to see if we get measurable snow............
