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

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

I should have about 6 open by the end of the week..I post pic when they all open,,uhh I think I put too many bulbs in the pot hey? :) I didnt know...I was surprised they even grew buds in the kitchen window. how long do these last?

They sell these at the cut flower store for like 3 bucks a piece..hmmmmmm ;)

plants are amazing animals!!

Very nice. Can these be grown outdoors??

RJSquirrel 05-11-2011 09:06 PM

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..
