Thank you!
The red spider lilies are blooming beautifully. They are a delight to see, and I am thrilled to have them in my garden.
I know I promised that I would give you a rose cutting (non-patented, of course) in return, and I apologize for not doing that already. I have not forgotten.
I am trying to root some cuttings now, and if they take, I promise to order something that requires delivery by Federal Express. Then, I can make a delivery to you!
They are such a cool plant. I have not had any luck with them here, so I will enjoy yours!
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry about your bad luck with them. I was so excited to see mine blooming - I wondered if they would make it!
Deletefascinating!
ReplyDeleteThey are a fun surprise!
DeleteFun! When I worked from home the Fedex guy was great.
ReplyDeleteLove the bulbs too. They are so nice to see this time of year.
And I am seeing them blooming everywhere. So fun to see them coming up where you least expect them!
DeleteBeautiful spider lillies, and such a lovely colour.
ReplyDeleteI do love the red. And I think the red and purple and yellow in this bed make a nice color combo.
DeleteDon't we all love special deliveries? ;) Cool plant!
ReplyDelete:) Special deliveries! Love that!
DeleteThose are lovely, very unique.

I have always loved them, but I always seem to try to order them after they're sold out. I was thrilled to get them as a gift!
DeleteThey are gorgeous! I've only seen the yellow ones before. Not for our climate I'm afraid. Or do you have to bring them in over winter too?
ReplyDeleteThey can overwinter here, thank goodness, since I'm not one to go to all the trouble of digging up bulbs. Interesting that you've only seen the yellow ones. The red ones are the only kind I see around here.
DeleteI mostly see the FedEx lady and the Mailman. Fedex just delivered me some germander from High Country Gardens. Fall is such an exciting time to plant. And then we wait...until spring!
ReplyDeleteI have two Spider Lilies. I would love more! They seem to last longer than the ox-blood lilies I recently had blooming. Maybe because the weather is just a bit cooler!
I think the spider lilies will multiply, so hopefully you and I both will have lots more in future years. I have been thinking about adding ox-blood lilies to my garden. Good to know they don't last long.
DeleteBeautiful! I love "passalong plants" and those spider lilies look very happy!
ReplyDeleteI agree that passalong plants are the best! (Unless they're being passed along because they're invasive - I've had that happen!)
DeleteNice bulbs, but the rose on your latest blog title...WOW!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I adore that rose, too. It's Charles Darwin.
DeleteWow! Beautiful flowers. :-)
ReplyDeleteThey are fun, and festive. Like fireworks!
DeleteThat's a new one on me - they look like fireworks! Fun.
ReplyDeleteThey do look like fireworks! And they burst open about as fast, too! :)
DeleteVery special, I suspect they are not for the cool climate so I will just enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteVery special, I suspect they are not for the cool climate so I will just enjoy yours.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - they're only hardy in zones 7 through 9, so unfortunately, not for cool climates. :(
DeleteAren't you sweet and I love those lilies.
