Finally A Red Spider Lily Bloom!

10 years ago

After 6 years one of my red spider lilies bloomed. I had them in the wrong areas for four years. My gold ones are blooming right now which is strange because I usually see those bloom in October.

    They are gorgeous! My red ones are blooming for the first time in a few years too.

    It bloomed after six years -- wow! I love the yellow one, which I don't see much. It's looks very frilly and seems to have peach tones.

    Mine aren't blooming. I guess its because I moved the bulbs this year. However, today my next door neighbors were very surprised to see this flower out in the fields near us, and sent this picture asking what it was. There haven't been houses there for almost 20 years, but I don't know how else it would have gotten there other than that it was once in someone's yard!

    My neighbors said they have walked their dogs in the area almost daily for the 14 years they've been living here and have never seen the flower before. Of course they wouldn't have seen the foliage as it is very small and would have blended into the grass.

    Thanks everyone! The first two years I had them in a small pot, then I removed them and 7 bulbs grew to 50 in a matter of three years. Then I put them in my shade garden and they still wouldn't bloom. I finally moved them to my sunny flower bed and this first red bloom appeared. My yellow ones were in the sunny flower bed too, they bloomed after 3 years.


    Roselee it's amazing that red one appeared in the field, especially with no care. I hope yours sprout soon? A friend gave me about 30 more a few months ago. I'm hoping more of my older ones bloom? So far there's no signs of them but I found another yellow one had sprouted.


    PKponder congratulations on your blooms! They're just so stunning!


    Thanks so much Sylviatexas!

    Here's a close up of the yellow ones. They're much brighter than this picture but the clouds have dulled the color on my phone.

    Wantonamara those peachy white ones are beautiful! Your red ones are beautiful too. It's definitely neat to see one color blooming after the other. Usually my yellow ones bloom in October but they were early this year for some reason?

    I like they way they look. For the last two years, mine had shown some multiplying, but this year, with the limited rain and lack of my own watering, it looks like they didn't. Oh well, I'll hope for more in the coming year.

    I really like the way they look too and they really stand out. I hope yours start to multiply purslanegarden?

    My first one bloomed yesterday. I have tons of red ones, but need to get some yellow and white ones. Those are awesome!

    That's wonderful Lynn Marie. I hope more of my red ones pop up. I planted some in drifts.
