Peruvian Daffodil - Hymenocallis

don't you just love that blood lily, i wonder why yours is blooming and mine haven't started yet

Mine are in pots that were re-potted in mid-April - perhaps that's a factor. I've another one blooming today, probably post it tonight.

mine were blooming in ground 6/6; they are in almost full shade (a little morning sun) and this particular one is 3 years in this spot--they always bloom first thing out of the starting gate--I thought maybe this one was not even coming back, it didn't re-emerge until 5/29

dmj,
Looks nice in the shade.

Here's my two (more to come, I've 2 pots several bulbs each).

It is Rain Lily season down here>

Zephyr - Rain Lily

Gloriosa

double bloom

Crinum - received in a DG trade. Really cool, this is the first Crinum I've ever cultivated.

That is a beautiful Crinum.

Here is a Crocosmia flowering , I have never seen one growing here in FL before>

dale,they grow well in my area also. However, they haven't bloomed yet for me this year. Also, I'am afraid they're receiving too much moisture from the sprinkler system.

I've a Crocosmia or two - Lucifers...first one should bloom next week.
Meanwhile, I've still got Peruvian Daffodils blooming:

Odd that your Peruvian daffodils is already blooming in zone 5b and mines is still at the vegetative stage in zone 9a. It's been awhile since I have fertilized that area - maybe that is the trick? They are thriving and are quite large - but it has not bloomed more than a couple of blooms for the past two years.

Mine are grown in large containers over-wintered in the basement.

More rain lilies-

jmorth you always have great blooms!!!

thanks marie

I had some pretty nice bulbs of Sandersonia that I re-potted this spring but have seen neither leaf nor stem of since.

Gloriosa with unique color blend.
