    I really like the colours of your cosmos. You still have so much going on compared to my garden. I do still have lots of bees on my salvia though.

    Lovely colors.
    Did you ever think that maybe that Calla is just really early instead of late? :D

    Lovely blooms Sherry! I have Calla's in my garden for the first time and it hasn't bloomed yet ... when is 'normal' time for them to bloom?

    Thank you eileen, cherylad and Netty....

    Here I have to dig them out of the ground or container every fall and put them in a cool area, which is our basement . I pack them in boxes with holes punched all over. Then in the spring or whenever our weather warms up enough I plant them. So no definite answer on when they bloom because it all depends on Mother Nature to warm up. This year we had a late warm-up and I think the white started blooming in June and the colors were all later. I have noticed the colored ones seem to last longer in bloom in our area than the white. Maybe it is the size of the bulbs, the white are much larger in size than the others.
