Spider Lily

its beautiful, i think i planted one of these from a supermarket packet, no flowers yet!

so which was the winner? apart from biggest bulb? and was that the most expensive or least?

Thanks Sticki, the best was a packet of three from garden centre and was £5 which was higest price but worth it...

worth knowing, thank you

:-))

great stuff mate

cheers mate :-)

:))) Taking a bit of a break for a while - wanted to comment on pics first :))

Well done Surreylad on your research in growing these. :o)

Size is certainly everything with them, as I discovered last year.
My two main bulbs are 75/80mm in diameter - it only took about six weeks from setting the bulb to bloom with the first one, and have just set the second large bulb.

Fantastic composition! :)))

I had some of these one year ,I can't remember how I planted them or even if they are still in a pot somewhere , I think they are stunning ! I will remember your planting advice for another time Slad, thanks ;o)

Beautiful SL :)

Thanks Everyone, i do like these...

Meanie, the ones i had that didn't flower which was most were between 40 - 55 mm these ones that have flowered are 70mm so i guess that's the magic number 70+ is needed to flower ...

That seems to be the number quoted on a lot of forums...........
