Inca Sun Bloom Opened Up (Pics)

18 years ago

The bloom on my Inca sun opened today. The bloom looks so goofy on such a small plant but I am excited to have my first bloom of the season. I will post more pics if the clolr deepens.

    That is just wonderful ! So glad you are getting your first blooms ! My hosta are just waking up also.

    I hope the color gets stronger in a few days.

    Congrat! I had to google to find out what was the big deal with Inca Sun. From what I read, it's the fragrance, size and ability to flower lots -- sounds good to me!

    The fragrance is nice but nothing spectacular to me... it smells kind of citrusy like my NOID white but not as strong, perhaps because it is only one bloom and not many. Eloise I think the special thing about inca sun is the ability to flower without having formed a Y. I also hope the color gets stronger but I am just so excited to see a bloom in person after having none for the long winter months. I really can't wait until our weather warms up enough that I can get my brugs out and get the flower and veggie gardens planted. Hopefully by the end of this month I'll be able to do so.

    my wife had them years ago and i obtain seeds in a seed swap. i was shock to see a plant not more than eight inches high and right mack at the top i had my first bloom.
    wife not well and when i showed it to her you should have seen the sparkle in those eyes!

    Hmmmm Nice picts. I have a couple of brugs that look like the 2nd from the bottom... that leaf curl and distortion, I am hoping it is temporary over-fertilizing that will go away, but so far, still waiting. Anyone else seen this? Know what it is?

    how lovely! :D hmm, looks different than the bloom on mine did! more tubular... mine was more bell shaped.

    what pisses me off is that my brugs keep dropping their buds cause it's still mid fifties outside tops (I told you guys so! you didn't believe me! lol) so I can't leave them outside and they don't get enough sun in here. not that it matters because it's been cloudy out for I don't even know how long.

    this sucks. it's almost JUNE. at least it's raining now instead of just being broodingly overcast...

    The color on the inca sun got a little deeper today, not as yellow as I thought it would turn out but maybe because of being indoors. I still like it though.
