Benefica. It is almost impossible to capture the true color of this one. She is so pretty. Looks like dark red velvet. Boojum captured the true color in hers above.

Papilio. It was supposed to look like gonetoseeds way at the top, but this is what mine looked like.

Thanks Kathy. I think so too. Boy those are fab. You must have a great camera. I couldn't get mine to capture the correct color.

Are Benfica and Black Pearl the same? I have BP and don't want to buy Benfica if they are. BP was great this year.

Gervasse is a stunner.

JT, those are beautiful. I love seeing all the green behind your photos. That must be in your greenhouse. Looks great!

This is yet another rootless wonder trying to bloom. Who is this red double? I need to cut it so the bulb will make roots.

Better photos of the seedlings. One bulb has really dark red veined smaller flowers as you can see.

Bonnie, my Charisma is almost open and I accidentally tipped the container and it doesn't have roots either. It just rolled out. How does it do that?

Jan, that one is fabulous.

JT, is Milton close to Freeport? My sister lives there and our weather is almost identical. I'm in 8b. And yes, we have had some freezing weather this year, and all of a sudden, it was 79 degrees today. My plants are confused. LOL
