Picked up a few Masdies at local OS show and sale a couple of months ago. So far, so good with them!
I got a small Golden Tiger 'Augie', which had a very faded bloom. Shortly after that finished, I spotted a new little spike.
A Bob Hoffman 'Highland Tangerine' - no blooms or spikes.
And a gorgeous yellow one that I only realized after I got home that it didn't have a tag! One of the yellow Mary Staal cultivars? Regardless - it's fabulous! It had two blooming spikes, and two spikes with large buds when I got it. Seems the first few weeks I had it, I spotted a new spike every few days! The original spikes have finished, but has three more spikes blooming now, plus 4-5 other spikes in various stages (it is possible I have missed one or more - there's one moderate sized spike I only noticed a couple of days ago - there's lots of growth on this plant, and easy to miss the spikes)
I only have one very poor photo of the Golden Tiger - had a very difficult time getting a decent pic - I thought I would get back to try again, but didn't
Hopefully there will be more opportunities in the future.
First pic of the yellow one is of the blooms it had when I got it, the last two pics are two of the current blooms. (The third one is sort of upside down/facing skyward, but is otherwise a very nice bloom)
Blooms start off almost orange, then "fade" to vivid yellow, and then eventually fade to a pale yellow. Pretty large blooms held nicely above the foliage. I just love this one!
Wish me luck!
