Lilies

Aztec lily also known as Jacobean Lily (Sprekelia formosissima)
I never grew a plant from bulb until the wonderful Helen of My Rustic Bajan Garden gave me a Barbados Lily (Hippeastrum puniceum) bulb.
Within a few weeks there was this lovely bloom!
Did some Internet research and discovered that there is a plethora of bulbs for tropical climes so I ordered some from American Meadows. Four weeks ago I planted them and today I was surprised by the red Aztec Lily bloom (first above)
I have several bulbs now growing in this large planter: dahlias, gloriosa lily, croscomia and another aztec lily. Looking forward to their blooms.
