Those are pretty, Aggie. My neighbors have some of those that look very much like your St Joseph's lilies (amaryllis) but we don't have any. I did stick an amaryllis in the ground in Feb. that I had had in a pot that hadn't bloomed for two years and guess what it has a bloom stalk! LOL Other than that haven't had much experience trying them outside.

Becky, I agree with Moby that the SR's have very strong stems but I do stake the ones that get really tall with large numbers of buds - when the flowers open up mine do lean somewhat but not horribly so lik a Trumpet would with spindlier stems. Plus it can get windy here so that can be an issue.

Jamie, you'll be blooming in the cool Pac NW while we're burning in our summer inferno down here! LOL

Here yas go, Diann - peonies and lilies at the same time! bwahahahah!
