Some early "yellows"

Post by redcrx »

A few have popped. Some have been damaged by frost and we may get hit again tonight.

I threw in a Clivia Lily. They winter in my garage and flower this time of year. I got this one last year. (Please excuse my messy garage.)

Oh Ed, you stole my heart with the last yellow Clivia!! I got my first one from Dan at Terra Nova Nursery in 2003 and just love my Mom plant. She is orange with a yellow
center and breath taking when she blooms. Thank you for sharing!! She is lovely!!

Did you overwinter the hostas in your garage, too? I left some outside, tipped the pots...I don't know if any are going to make it. :(

All of those hosta wintered outside. The only ones tipped over are those knocked over by the critters in my yard.

Here is another Clivia.

I have shown this seedling in another topic but got a good shot of it this morning. Right now it's getting full morning sun until the tree leaves come in.

Awesome Ed, that is like the one we have. I winter ours inside and will move them outside the 1st of May.
Our oldest if 11 years old now and I currently have 24. :lol:

I have one other with size - it is a pup off of one I bought in the mid-70ies (don't know what killed the mom). All 3 have pups now. I bought a bunch (6) of tiny variegated off ebay a bunch of years ago. I had never seen variegated ones until I was on a garden tour with the DelVal Hosta Society looking at hellebores. The guy had a couple of good sized variegated Clivia out "shading" themselves. I lost one of the six right off the bat. And another one over the years. But this winter I lost two more when my garage door popped open for an hour and froze a bunch of things. (Luckily my hosta seeds hadn't been planted yet.) So I have 2 beat-up ones left. My big Clivia were "far" away from the open door so, thankfully, they weren't damaged.

Ed so sorry for your loss. I would cry if I lost our large one that is why she sit by the front door all winter inside.

I went out today to get a photo of June Fever. Sitting right next to it is one of my Striptease sports so I included it also.

A couple more "yellows". I went out between the raindrops - it has been pouring most of the day.

These are from my front flower bed where I have many that are "reblooming" types.

I thought I would throw this one in here while it is still "yellow" - it doesn't stay for long.
