Flower of the week for week 47 - Nerine bowendii - I was so glad I discovered this plant about 6-7 years ago. It is a reliable fall bloomer. It has not mulitplied as much as I would like it to, but then again, it has not died off either. So, from my original purchase of 12 bulbs, I added about 8 more this year. I have them growing in 3 spots, and it blooms anywhere from mid-October to the end of November. Here is the darker pink one out in the yard. They are a cheerful spot in an otherwise mostly dormant garden.
