I was gifted them from a woman at work who was away most of the summer. They stayed in her garage for winter, came to me and will spend winter in a low cupboard where I hope they survive well. Bright and lovely things, I like them best as they are starting like this, so structural.

That's when I like them too...in bud, and just opening. They are great. I wish they lasted a little longer. Mine were over and done in about 2 weeks this year.

Thank you. Wish I had a name, but having it at all is great. Bright and stunning, we cooled off halfway through the blooming, and I got a week or two extra. They seem to like it cool.

Perhaps that's why mine were not successful, too much heat. These are lovely. I hope they continue to do well for you.

Thank you. The blooming slowed with the cooler temperature. We had a hot year this year so I'm talking 90s F for hot and 70s F for cooler. Such relative words, knowing you are in Arizona GG. :-)
