What's blooming right now

11 years ago

Here's what's blooming in Spring, TX. I went back into the kitchen...and there was H. Glee, shouting, "What about me??". Oops, I left Glee out of the group photo, but had posted it a few days ago.

I didn't pull anything out of the greenhouse (Lima and Aulicum).

These are:(left to right, back to front) -
Cyberspace, Benefica, Kahlua, Quito, Tinke Verberg, Tango(?), Neon, Exotic Star, Sweet Lillian, Antarctica, and Multiflora Yellow Garden.

PS...first time we've seen the sun in a long time!

Hi Kristi,

That is a lovely photo! It is great to see the different varieties grouped to display the contrast in proportions. The color of 'Tineke Verburg' is beautiful. Is she producing multiple scapes?

Cheers,

Blanca

Gorgeous display!! I really do love your version of Kahlua!! That coupled with Exotic Star should make some lovely flowers.

Blanca, I bought H. Tinke Verberg as a jumbo bulb and 2 scapes had grown and were broken in transit (grrrr). It has since put up one more scape and another is just starting, for a total of 4. It would have been more spectacular with multiple scapes blooming at once, but it's "a statement piece"!

Hello Folks,

Well here in the NE, it's snowing/sleeting/raining...and it's miserable. At least I have some hippies that just opened and are helping to put a smile in my face.

The color on Jewel of the Night is so intense, I have no other red hippies in my collection that are as dark red as this one.

Warm Regards,
Fred

Do you have by any chance a Red Pearl and if so, how would you describe it compared to Jewel of the night?

Is it a mini?

Hi Kristi and Betonklotz,

It's about 22" in height, so I would call it a standard but on the shorter side. I do have a Red Pearl hybrid seedling but it's a few years from flowering.

Warm Regards,
Fred
