first flower in the bed

the first flower finally bloomed but i can't remember what it is. isn't this a lily of some kind ?

Very Pretty! Looks like an Asiatic Lily of some sort.

Yup! You got it!
Looks like an Asian Lily of some sort.

yer right i looked it up- it's an asiatic lily- very pretty flower- now i got glads & bach. buttons,morning glory, & ya name it i planted it - that was the 1st to bloom,but i'm most proud of my glads ( my grandmother's fave flower), my jalapeno/strawberry crossbreed- don't ask. my habanera peppers,and birdhouse gourds.. i also have awesome 4yr old plumeria trees(not here in kentucky- they live w/ mom in south texas coast) but i may pot & transplant here,,,,,ya may really like my "hot pepper strawberries"

Sounds lovely, I love glads! You should send more pictures as it developes! Please :)

I want to know more about the hot pepper strawberries (despite being told not to ask!)
:)

i planted strawberries & jalapenos in the same planter box and the strawberries are spicy... go figger

Huh - sounds mighty interesting. They taste good then? (but not for shortcake, I'll warrent!)
Kinda makes me want to try it - to see if I can replicate your results!

maybe i'm dr. frankengardner but really the strawberries will actually burn your tongue- i'm from texas so i know spicy mango salsa- it's kinda like that... i don't know if i could do it again twice. if i could do it on purpose i'd prolly be rich ( so said bill gates to the man he ripped of for the ms copyright

Hmmmmm, don't much care for strawberrys cuz they look sweet, but I always get the bitter ones. Maybe if they were "spicy" instead they'd be right up my alley. I may give your idea a try. Where should I send your royalties????

I think you should propegate the results - whether there is much of a market for jalapeno strawberries is a different story - but its certainly something that one would want to grow as a curiosity!

Like Mango salsa - hmmm - spicy strawberry salsa maybe? Its the new summer barbeque appetizer!! What could you serve them with though?

pork ribs or pork shoulder of course

An appetizer next to the ceviche, just before a wonderful barbacoa!

You guys are making me hungry!

Yeah, me too! Pass out those spicy strawberries Gypsy!

smoked red snapper w/ a spicy strawberry salsa or ahi poke w/ spicy strawberry ginger & asahi beer.... ok i'll shut up now

btw that is a 5 hours slow smoked pork shoulder w/ grilled glazed pears....

Stop now, or I will be climbing through my 'pooter right into your kitchen!

mmmmmmm . . . . now I definitely want to experiment with the strawberries . . . and go cook me up a pork roast for dinner . . . yummy!
