DonnieBrook. That is quite the change and much for the better IMHO. I love the fact that you are respectful of the old ditch lilies. I do love them up in Vt. Funny that the old double that I brought here from there croaked. I must remember to dig up some more and bring them down here to try again. Didn't think it possible to kill them, but I did. Deer ate them more than any of the others. I had to move all our DL's to behind the deer fence some years back when it became apparent that the deer had added Hemerocallis to their diet. grrrrrrrrr.

Thanks. I have had it for quite a few years from one of the old coops run by 4paws. I it is Calla Green Goddess and blooms every winter rather than the summer like the others. Here are some of my late blooming Hippeastrum today. Both of these from a 2008 coop from Blooming Bulb. Kind of looks like Christmas. Most of my Hippeastrums have been rather slow to spike this year. But I don't care when they bloom as look as they do. Patti
