Fabulous 🤭😘

Now thats beautiful @kez001uk

How did you manage to keep yours alive? 😁 Mine has been munched by snails and then I also managed to overwater it and underwater it... It looks terrible 😰 Yours looks amazing! I was planning to have these flowers at the bottom of my passionflower but both look disastrous 😅

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom they’re incredible looking things 😍

@gardengirlla thanks Maggie 😁

@vinny3000 thanks Gary 😃 they’re so impressive 🤩

Are they just from bulbs same as the original ones..

@ublaszko I have no idea 😂 they just appeared out of nowhere, forgot I even had them 🙈 pot is on gravel so maybe that deterred the snails. They’d look so amazing with passionflowers 😍 I’m so sorry yours got munched on 😔

@LyndaClack definitely eye catching 😍

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom they are just big bulbs 😊 got these from Tesco of all places 😅

@gjones quite incredible aren’t they 😍

😣 Ended up binning them this evening. I went to water the garden and noticed snail party on hymenocallis leaves 💃😬 There was no saving them so I decided to cut my loses and have a look for replacement.

Wow!💘😍

Very cool looking!

@ShelleySnyder wasn’t open this morning but checked it after seeing @bellabells had opened, and there it was 😁 thanks Shelley ☺️

@lesliecole49 thanks Leslie 😀 and they’re big flowers too 😍

Very welcome Kerry!💘😍

What an elegant bloom on yours too! @kez001uk 😍👌🏻💕

@bellabells thanks Bella 😁 think it had just opened too because it’s not had chance to curl up yet 😜

Love this !!!! 😍😍

@kez001uk amazing! I might get some more bulbs like this in winter.. they are quite fascinating.. 💕

@sherrisgarden thank you Sherri 😄 they’re definitely different 😋

@bellabells I agree! And still amazes me that all this comes from a little bulb 🤯

Do you have to dig it and store it over the winter?
