Which blooms for you throughout the uear?

9 years ago

Here us Elvas who blooms throughout tbe uear (different bulb - I think). Other multi season bloomers are Blossom peacock, Lemon lime, double red mini and others I will post as they bloom.

Hope you don't mind but since the forum is slow, here are some other plants floweing in the high heat, high humidity sauna-like weather

Orchids

Stapeliads

Cactus

Jody,

Here are a couple of pictures of my Cheeky. The very first scape had deeply pigmented flowers that were quite interesting with a slight mix of pink in with the orange.

Subsequent blooms were considerably more pale but still interesting enough I guess...

make sure you click for the big picture....

My Cheeky put out 3 scapes each with 4 flowers none as pretty as the first scape though.

I usually get some H. Papilio blooms throughout the year. My H. Tres Belles has a scape coming on right now.

Thanks Kristi. Even in season, I only get a few papilio to bloom. I wonder if they need more cold then I give them. That aside, I have a longer season with the hybrids (Exotic star, Giraffe etc.) Especially Exotic Star.

Jewel had a scape with three flowers last month. It bloomed last summer too and also in season. Right now I have only Cheeky from the Sonatini specials order blooming but that one woke up very late and is still without leaves.

Jody, I'm still waiting for any Papilio to rebloom and they get more cold here than I would like to give them :-)

Please keep posting pictures of your garden :-)))

Anja, Jewel is one of my favorites, her beauty and scent are so wonderful! I'm not familiar with Cheeky, can you post a picture.

Donna, Elvas is another favorite of mine!!! And I looked at your other blooming bulbs - just gorgeous!

Jody, if you look at the Sonatini thread you will find a picture of Cheeky. I forgot my camera when we were visiting family and can't take a picture now. I will if I get the camera back in time.

I like her too although mine is much paler. It's still nice.
