Anticipation:
I have been keeping an eye on these for weeks, finally looks like it is getting close to bloom time. Can't wait to see what they will look like. I have to see if I can find the package label now, being I can't find a marker anywhere. I'm thinking Freesias of some kind?
Edited: Nothing on the package except 25 bulbs, the photo showed a mixture of colors, maybe the other colors bloom at a different time?

From the picture, my guess would be Crocosmia? Freesia usually have all the flower buds on the top side of the stalk.
But you'll know for sure when they open!

Thanks, yes it could be. Looks like I planted both back in 2015.
Edited to add: It appears that Freesia are much shorter, I think these were planted in the front row. So the plants in the photo have to be Crocosmia, they are as tall as some Glads. Much taller than the short plants in the front row were back in the spring.

Dark purple and pink Calla Lilies coming up, at least thats the plan color wise.



A few pots of yellow calla lilies making their way.

Gloriosa lily finally coming up, first planted the last week in May, replanted June the 15 since they were too deep, also our weather has not been that warm.

NOID from Dave

I like that back side coloration of Golden Splendor Ginny. I like the other ones too, except, almost...well I'm glad you got that Dave's trade and I didn't. LOL.

Glad you're able to ascertain Gloriosa progress Rj. Their bloom should last well into Sept.
Couple of mine are advancing nicely.

This Crinum is going to bloom again! The previous stalk fell, out of focus to the left, and there is a new one.

Jack the pics of Dave's NOID doesn't do justice to the blooms. They do fade after a couple days though. My gloriosa are up about a foot

Ginny, I'm just no lover of pink basically, if it is in the garden it's usually referred to as 'off-purple' or maybe 'rose colored'.
Here's the NOID I got from Dave >
(don't pay any attention to those lilies behind it).
Good to learn your glories are also growing.

You mean the PINK ones behind it He also sent me one with more of a red bloom with a wine colored stem but it hasn't bloomed yet. Anticipation

I have 'off-purple' and 'rose coloured' lilies, iris and roses too!

Granted the one behind the Noid is named 'Pink Perfection' but the reality is more purplish, at least in my imagination...

I agree since I have one just like it

That noid is a stunner!

No problem with pink here, I love it! These OTs came from Faraway several years ago. They're Japanese hybrids and I don't recall which is which, but I believe the names are Madame Butterfly, and Geisha Girl.








A bunch of lilies in the back garden.



American West


I believe this is Robert Swanson


Shocking


Crocosmia, I think Emberglow is the name.

Neal absolutely gorgeous

@jmorth - Eucomis "Oakhurst" has pretty much disappeared over here. Introduced after "Sparkling Burgundy" it turned out to be a vigorous grower that was shy to bloom (outside of the southwest corner of the UK at least) and when it did bloom it was certainly inferior. Here's a photo of the two from last year...........
Eucomis comosa "Oakhurst" and "Sparking Burgundy" by longk48, on Flickr

Do you have "Sparkling Burgundy" over there?

Another question! Have you grown Eucomis from leaf cuttings?

@longk
Sparkling Burgundy is available over here, Oakhurst blooms well for me, I've had it a long time.

I've never grown any Eucomis from leaf cuttings.
