    Your Hibiscus is a sight! Love the lilies too, and the cannas are delightful. Does the Gloriosa live outside all year?

    Those are so grogeous.I do love the gloriosa lily as I never can get them to even come up.My crinum lily hasn't even thought of blooming.I think I have to seperate the bulbs and plant them elsewhere.I do love the hibiscus and mine are wonderful that came from your seeds.

    Droopy, my Gloriosa's are in pots and they dp stay out all year. If we have a hard freeze predicted I move the pots under the winter plant shelter. I have a yellow hibiscus with a deep burgundy center. I just took some pictures and will post them later.

    Tina, I like the crinum also.
    Glenda, my pink crinum hasn't bloomed yet either. I have several of them scattered over the yard and not a one has bloomed.

    Your Rothchildiana Lily is mouthwatering. I'm in your growing zone - wonder if it would grow for me in NC. Beautiful pictures, Sharon.

    GG, ZuZu is in NC and she grows the Gloriosa, I think she digs them in for the winter though. Maybe she will be around later and can tell you more.

    Thanks all for the compliments.

    All of your blooms are absolutely gorgeous Sharon! I love that China Doll bloom. Is that Lily fragrant?

    CB... My breath is taken away. Such lovely and remarkable blooms you have there. You just keep coming up with good stuff.
    To say "Congratulations" somehow doesn't seem enough.

    Thanks guys, I love my plants and think of them as old friends I haven't seen in a while. Spring and summer are my favorite times of the year because I get to see them all again, and add new friends also.

    Netty, I can only smell the strongest of fragrances, so it may have one and I just can't smell it. I can't even smell Moonflower Alba. What a drag.

    I've never seen a pink canna. All beautiful. ;)
