Great pic. Bev beat me to the punch. Is that great minds? jm what zone are you? I've been looking for a Eucomis hardy in z6a and yours is the the nicest I've seen. Killer foliage.

Evan, I've overwintered E.autumnalis in the ground before. I had neglected to dig my tender bulbs that fall, and was shocked the next spring to see them return. If I recall correctly, I left them in the ground the next fall and lost them that time, but hadn't mulched or provided any protection for them.

You know, last night I realized that Eucomis were bulbous plants. My grey matter just didn't make the leap to simply treat them as tender bulbs. I've certainly got enough of those and a few more would'na matter atall. I'll certainly check out E. autumnalis.

Eucomis comosus 'Oakhurst'

More Pineapples

Thanks for getting back to us, Jack. Oakhurst goes on the wish list for sure. Do you have that potted? The white ones are terrific! Ok, you know we want to get the name of that one, too.
Thankfully mine overwinter in the ground here-otherwise I wouldn't grow them. My schedule during the fall is too crazy to be planning to dig things up. It'll never happen.

Oakhurst is in a pot. The other pineapples are Eucomis autumnalis.

Gloriosas

Peruvian Daffodils

So nice seeing your always inspiring pictures when I can't sleep, Jack. My p. daffs are getting finished with their display. I have had one for a few years and added another in the spring. Seeing your beauties with the crazy cool curved petals makes me long for more.

Those gloriosas are amazing!!
Evan beautiful pictures!! I will be heading to Ma in Sept. Hoping to find a nursery or two still open!!

Hi Marie, The nurseries should be open. They might be a little low on stock but it's the best time to get great deals. Where abouts are you headed?

All these Peruvian and Gloriosa are amazing and both Eucomis have been added to the wishlist. I'm not sure what it is but I love those pineapple shaped blooms.

East Wareham is where we will be staying

I hope you have a nice visit Marie. At least so close to the Bay you should have nice cooling breezes. Enjoy!

Looking forward to the lobster we will be having!!!

Don't you mean lobsta?

Blood lily -

LOL yes Evan I do believe that is the correct pronounciation!

Hello everyone. I grow bulbs in containers also.

jmorth, my blood lilies are planted in group of 5 just like yours. I thought they are going to bloom at the same time but they didn't.

Beautiful Blood Lilies! I really need to try those!

Let's continue with August blooms here:
