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...

    I LOVE the combination of the Clematis and the 'Golden Celebration' rose, Phillip. Thus far, the only clematis I've been able to keep alive here is C. terniflora. I hope the tour of your garden goes well - I wish I could attend!
