Thanks Evan, same pot most of those years.

Other summer bulbs right now are the Magic Lilies, They consistently open the month of August here. I believe there's 8 groups in selected sites in garden. A few years of no disturbance and a colony builds, soon to thrive.

Blood Lilies radiant at present. Were left in basement showing no awakening initially, then recently gave the pot some water, next couple of days bulb spouts emerged. Moved outside about to reach their glory.

Acidanthera (Abyssinian Glad) goings very well.

Most significantly, for me, the Chocolate Cosmos is blooming. I've not grown one for maybe 10 years. Kind of an oddity/seldom seen cultivar. Pleasant association fragrances are present.

Nothing that's been done can ever be changed.
