Default oh look what else bloomed in the window :)



4 bulbs in the window since february 15 going to make 15 BIG huge smelly flowers!!!

these are the 1st couple to open up and it smells like tiger lilly..I never liked the scent myself that much, BUT in a larger area diffused with plenty of fresh air its not so sickeningly sweet....

I just like to see what I can grow in my window

I will have to take pics of mine when they bloom. They are outside so it will be a while.

I love them I love them but, I agree, the scent does need to diffuse for optimal enjoyment

sure they meant to be put in the yard

the blooms and plant will take Full morning sun.The foliage likes the shade in the afternoons ..so they get full east window all day long

And one named them "Stargazers" and thats what they are indeed ..They smell wonderful when you get used it.Very fragrant..Now after they bloom I'm lost again as what to do but I read keep the foliage alive so you make new bulbs for next year.

I should have only put 1 bulb per pot..but I like bunchs of plants and they like freinds..
