GREAT! That's beautiful. Relly like it.

oops! type-o. REALLY like it

Wow Barb! Beautiful, I've never saw one of those before! I love it!

That is sooooooo pretty, Barb...almost looks like fine silk. I've never grown them but I understand they make good bog garden plants and will even grow in water. Do you know which cultivar it is? Maybe Hymenocallis eucharidifolia? I think the others bloom in early spring.

Thanks for posting that great picture!

Thank you every one......Glad to share with all.

It just popped up this morning and I never seen one before , in my life......

Lady from texas sent the literature with the bulb.
It says
Amarayllidaceae family
Genus Lycoris
Species albiflora
bloom time Late Summer/early fall.
Hardy in zone 7-10
Rats I am zone 5 or 6 ..depending who your talking to ......Ha ha
Read they are very expensive.....My friend got it at a flea market , cheap..

Thanks for the kind words everyone....Hope it has babies!!!!!!!!!!!

Oooh, that is pretty. I would like one of those in my new perenneal flower bed that I haven't made yet.

Here is an easy way.. Put down a plastic sheet or table cloth or something, in the shape of whatever you wish, anchor it with weights......
Let it lay till spring, by then all will be dead and all you do, is run the tiller thr it??????

I am gonna try that method.

THAT IS SOOOO NEAT!!! i'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT, ITS REALLY PRETTY.

How on earth did I miss this thread???? That bloom is fabulous! Maybe you can dig up the bulb and replant next spring since it isn't hardy for your zone. Wow, I'm still drooling

Thanks and it remember it happened in Pennsylvania.

It was a Texas bulb from a yard sale.. I am digging it up , an replanting it for 07.. And hoping it has given me some new babies to make more in 07....
It gave no prior warning of the arrival??
Hip hip Horray .. Still has 5 more blossoms on it.

Hi, Dodge
That's beautiful. Really like it.
I never see one like this.
Anyone now's if there are those in Portugal. I wish...

tpppc,

Thanks ........
I never seen them in USA before either.. Just received it this spring and thought it was too late for it?/

Guess we have to read up on it.

Thanks again.

dodge

that is a really beautiful flower!!! make sure you store it properly so that you can plant it again next year!!

joclyn,

Thanks .....
Do you know if it has any babies on it when we dig it up here in penna? Dang rain is messing it.
First timer here........I planted it in late spring and thought it didnt have a chance..
I know Philly is warmer than western pa.. where we are...


dodge

it's possible it will have babies - not too likely since this was the first year you had it. i'd be very careful when digging it up tho - don't want to disturb any that are there.

if it does have babies, i'd leave them on and let it grow for another season and then split the babies off next fall.
