Gloriosa

Post by LucyGoose »

I am in love!! I bought this at Wally World, and out of the 3 bulbs, or whatever you call them, only one did really good and is blooming now.....one never came up, then one is half the size and the foliage looks different.....kinda like variegated....:hmm:.....

But this flower is just too cool! I love it!!

Fabulous! I've tried these several times, and have never seen a bloom. Maybe once more...?

OC has planted them several times, usually in pots on deck, but never had one even come up. But then he waited for 3-4 years for his Peruvian Lily to come up and he dumped the dirt in the same spot, so maybe he will have a surprise this year.......OC dreaming of a pretty spring...
