Belamcanda chinensis - Leopard Flower, Blackberry Lily

[bethmarie]

I put these in as young plants last spring. No blooms last summer- a big disappointment, since I thought they were annuals. To my surprise, they came back and bloomed this spring/summer.

I love the colors, and the twisty way the flower closes when the bloom is finished. Lots of seed pods this year too. Looking for a bumper crop next season.
