The all survived and are blooming now. The blooms are not very visible, but the bees love them. 'Lily' has nice green foliage, and 'Samobor' has purple variegation on leaves, but as blooms are maroon they just are not too showy. #1 'Lily is the clump on the right, 'Samobor' is the clump on the far left, early spring. #2 super closeup of tiny "Lily' flower #3 variegated foliage of Samobor #4 Backlit 'Lily' in bloom' #5 'Samobor' habit-showing how the blooms are not well seen. |
