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...

Stunning! Quince is fantastic and that color is striking!
ReplyDeleteAwesome color combo.
ReplyDeleteI've recently discovered the charms of Veronica. So far, I planted three with spears growing to various heights (later in the season), but I didn't know of the creeping kind. That blue is fantastic and I'll be looking for it on my next nursery visit.
Oh, that gorgeous blue!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteStunner of a combo--well done.
Beautiful! But I bet a man named that Orange Storm. I would call it coral.
