Tropical Lily Maroon Beauty
I bit the bullet today, decided to use my Birthday $$ from ILs for a
Tropical Lily, especially since my E-bay one never did anything, but dissolve away once put in the pond. :-( And my hardy Virginia has decided to come back from baby-hood, so I'm a bit lily short. Unfortunately I forgot there are day & NIGHT bloomers. Lady helping me was picking them up and reading the names and I was listening for something I would recognize. Ended up with Maroon Beauty, after a bit of research sounds nice, but a night bloomer. Anyone have experience with this lily as far as when it opens in the evening and closes in the morning? I had a red flare and I swear that flower only opened when my head hit the pillow and closed when I got out of bed in the morning. I even went out in the middle of night to find it hardly open, never like pictured. It sure was a bright neon pinkish red the rare times I saw it opened in a cup shape, never flat. So anyone on the Maroon Beauty? Tx, ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

No - but do Hibiscus just blooms last 1 day?
