Resistance Is Futile



I couldn't help myself. I saw them at the nursery and I could not leave without one. I have lamented the loss of these ever since 2005. I planted this new one in a different area of the yard than the first ones I put out a few years ago, so maybe it will live and come back. Please, please (crossing all fingers and toes)...I love these as much as my crinums.

Nothing!

These did not bloom at all this year. I was so disappointed. I don't know why they didn't bloom. The leaves got big, but not one single flower. I don't know if I should dig them up and move them or give them some kind of special fertilizer or what? It is so frustrating. They were so pretty last year. I am very sad.


 Blooms from 2004

Instant Infatuation
 
I love these so much! 

I have a long driveway and want to plant these down the whole length of the drive. The plants you see in these photos were bought in the spring of 2004 from a nursery.
I purchased a couple more recently from another nursery in the late winter of 2005. I am eager for them to bloom again this year to see how they have multiplied and if they will be as pretty as last year coming from
the nursery.  I will add more photo's in the late spring of 2005 as they bloom.
