Gloriosa Supurba (Glory Lily)

  I posted, in 2010, about the Glory Lily tubers 
a sweet friend gave me.

I took the photos below on August 11, 2011
and obviously did not create a post!

You might note that I placed them in a shady-with-bright-light-spot.  They grew tall and only bore one flower.

 Notice the leaf tips.  :-)

On June 24 I took the following couple of photos...
 Look at that.... a PINK one!  :-)


And yesterday... a good variety!  :-)

I hope you enjoy the 4th of July - with a few "Sparklers" of your own!!  :-)
Nothing "shady" here!  lol

    Greetings to Rosemary, "Gardener," and Darla. Thanks for leaving a comment. Truly these are very special. I bring the potted corms indoors after the first frost and leave in the basement over the winter (no water).

    Hi! I do, too. The plants don't really climb, but those little tips do hang on to the trellis (and each other!). :-)

    So they didn't bloom well in the bright shade?? It looks like they are in sun now?? I SO want to try these again.
