Yea they become as glossy as can be, but sometime the babies are very matte, the promptly grow out of it!
I really like them, I'm considering a mass planting of them were we can watch them dump in the rain, watch the taller leaves dump into the shorter ones an on down.
Mine have done better than ever before!
I measured, they are actually 6' even! This was a big bulb, but the tiny ones I planted at the same time are just barely trailing behind, the largest, and first planted in ground is 5'6" but is one one plant, this bulb made 3 big plants!
Looking down the stems...
