Anticipation

This is exciting! I have wanted an orange ginger lily for as long as I can remember. I tried growing it in Alabama and never got a bloom. I do have a white ginger ( Hedychium spicatum )  that has had a few blooms. A few years ago, someone told me that 'Tara' is the only one that will reliably bloom here. I don't know if that it true but I finally got one this year (thank you Dancing Oaks!). Planted in April next to our South foundation and given ample water, I can hardly believe it, but it looks like a bloom is imminent - in its first year! I'm holding my breath...

  5. This is great. I guess it’s what I needed to remember that spring is just around the corner. Thanks for this beautiful photo.

  6. My Lenten Rose haven't started blooming yet. My daffs are blooming. Haven't been able to get pictures of them yet. Ruptured a tire on Patton Island bridge Wed afternoon late and they put a used tire on Thurs until they can get 2 new ones in. I had a tornado that went overhead last night and hope that the blooms survived.
