WeeNel...thank you for the encouragement. I'm doing very well with my other lilies except for the fact that I didn't pull the pots away from the edge and the soils stayed too wet for most of the winter and I lost a lot of parent bulbs. I lesson learned there. It did, however give me a good excuse to buy more bulbs this year.

I will be holding off on the feeding of the gloriosa for this week and maybe next, depending on what I see on the plants. The taller plant has two more flower buds growing and I'm keeping a close eye on them to see how they are fairing. I do, however, have one bloom on the smaller plant that has matured beautifully. I've included a picture for all to see.

Thanks again for your encouragement.
