That is a gorgeous Torch Lily! Thank you for sharing it. Most people I know have grow them from bulbs, but I was interested to see that you grew it from seed. Did it take a few years before it flowered, or is it a fast grower from seed?

Oh my Good Ness, after seven years....................????? You are right our climate is hot and may be because of this.

Wow, that is quite a difference in blooming time from seed! I was going to try it from seed, but maybe my best bet would be to grow it from bulb since I am all the way up in zone 6b. Or maybe I will try from both seed and bulb, and try putting the seedlings to overwinter in a greenhouse. At any rate, those are beautiful plants, Kaleed and Saya. Again, thank you for sharing them.
