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...

They're all so lovely and 'Tequila Sunrise' is positively glowing!
ReplyDeleteYour rose collection is sumptuous. It is amazing that they are all still blooming.
ReplyDeleteSoul sustaining. Love the cascades of 'Cornelia' and 'Buff Beauty'--they are so graceful.
ReplyDeleteThe color of 'Lady Emma Hamilton' is devine. Beautiful pics!
