Gorgeous blooms! I just started getting into this genus this year. I'm looking at at least a year until I will see any flowers.

Did you by chance see my mouthful of tea, cup & saucer sail across the room?

My L. radiata took a mere 41 years to produce one rather miserable flower stalk!  Hope you have better luck.

Phenolic,

Drop by sometime and I can share a bloom size bulb or two.

Fermi in your picture with L. radiata there's a little low Artemisia. What do you call it? I have one similar and I'm not sure.

Only took ten years for me.

If they really do take that long to bloom, then I guess I'll have something to look forward to in my retirement!

Be strong, Phenolic - hope costs nothing!!

Thank you for your encouraging words, Maggi.

Phenolic,

Thank you for your kind offer, Jim!
