Pineapple lilies - Eucomis

Nice, Eucomis. I have bugs that love to eat them.

I have my best luck with rain lilies in summer.

my eucomis have done particularly well this year. I should have white and pink, but only the whites have bloomed so far.

I've a dwarfish black toned specimen (pictured) and the Giant pole-evansii yet to bloom.

Elephant Ear (in large pot).

Stargazer in pot - brought inside for last bloom.

The magics are Lycoris squamigera.

Polianthes - Tuberose
