Beautiful, but well named...requires huge amounts of water...

I got seduced by them last summer and bought three different colours, Mel...this is the first to show. I love them!

Lovely texture on the petals.

Today, five came out at once! They look so exotic - too big for this part of the world! :)

Wow! How big are they, Karen?

There are seven this morning! I just went out and measured (sad, but true)...the largest one is 22cms across! The pink one looks like it will be the next to come. Can't wait!

Now that is big!
One for next year for me.

Go for it! They're really hardy - all three coped brilliantly with our deep-freeze this year!

Now I am sold on it!!!!

I had no idea they were as big as that, Karen. Quite a display, then!

I've got all three planted in a corner, Mel...just wish that they would all bloom together...
What a display that would be! :))
