I have one tuber that came up - it's about 3" tall now - chipmunks ate the rest. I am guarding the one that's left! Yours are beautiful - thanks for showing them to us.

I also have only one that came up since the squirrels ate my others.It is about 4ft.tall but no signs of flowers.When should I expect some?We have had rain for over a week I hope to see the sun today.I am so glad that we are supplying our rodents with such a wide variety of foods.

That is beautiful !!
I just love Gloriosa. Mine are only about 3" tall right now but when it warms up they will grow quickly. They just look like they are dancing around once they bloom.

As many squirrels as we have I am surprised they dont bother them. But I guess they have enough other stuff to eat. Downscale, yours should be blooming soon. No buds yet? A couple of years ago, we have a pretty cold winter and mine did not bloom until the end of June.

I have to say, it is actually nice. I am just a few miles north of Destin, in Northwest Florida. A couple of blocks from the bay and just over the bridge from the beach.

Lisa, mine are dormant now. I took them inside the house. I was so afraid to kill them! LOL. I can hardly waith for them to bloom next summer (Dec/March for us). Thank you very much again for the bulbils.

The photograph is wonderful. Better than in catalogs! I planted three on a trellis that's on a brick wall and figured when the clematis were done I'd have something growing there. Nothing's sprouted yet. We use a lot of blood meal to keep the rabbits, possum and squirrel away.
