Well, you can imagine my surprize when I spotted this gorgeous creature this morning! Two years ago while in line at Home Depot, I purcheased this blood lily bulb...it was an impulse buy...like gum at the grocery checkout. I planted it in a pot and it grew lots of leaves which then just died down. so much for that...I stuck it pot and all in the wild ferns and forgot about it. So far after reading about it today, I did NOTHING right for it. A week ago I noticed that its empty pot had a little sprout. I just thought it would be leaves again so I forgot about it for the time being. and them this morning! This is one of the most amazing things that I have ever seen! Does anyone know how long it lasts? I did notice that it has two more sprouts and I read that it is tuberous. Should I seperate the other ones coming up or just put the whole thing in a bigger pot? Will it just have the one bloom? It is getting growth in the center but I think that might just be leaves. My experience leads me to believe that they bollom the second year? I am just blown away with this! If I had babied it, who knows what it would have done, but it got NO cae in the shade and went through winter that this year went down to 30...so this fellow has proven the "experts" wrong all the way around!
