#tigridia-pavonia Have to be quick to catch these in flower

What a cool looking flower!💘😍

It was, it's shut up shop now though @ShelleySnyder Only lasts about 8 hours from opening to dying and normally get 3 flowers per stem over successive days. Sometimes I miss them if I'm at work all day

Thought these had finished for the year a few weeks back #nicesuprise #pink #tigridia

So very unique!💘😍

Gorgeous - another pink one I see 😂

They're allowed to stay if they're pink enough for a tropical look @richard.spicer.7906 😂 I've got a few of these as you can't pick the colour in a pack of bulbs, the pink #canna-ehemannii #clematis-princess-diana and the pink and red #iresine-herbstii so all "splashes" and not normally out at the same time 😉

That is a Great Pink Bestie @vec I’d say A Hot Pink 💕😍😘

How beautiful 💕💕💕

A bright pink #tigridia-pavonia has appeared today but its not the wishy washy pink that I had earmarked for you Suzie 😂 @jadojado29

But it’s still PINK!! 🙊😉💕

Pink is OK as long as its in your face bright pink and not "cottage garden pink" and only in very small doses 😂 @rachelbrooks

😂 well...that’s definitely in yer face pink! 👍🏼😉

This is outrageous looking!💘😍

I like that @ShelleySnyder From now it will be outrageous pink rather than in your face pink 😂

👍 tropicals are outrageous! Think of it that way!🤪😂😉💘😍

Well I love it 💓💞💕💝💘💖💗

Me too @juliesgarden

#tigridia-pavonia is back with no protection over winter as I forgot about them 😂

Wow. That’s lovely 💛❤️

Thank you @lexijane I've had a few things pop up that I wasn't expecting to be winter hardy

That was lucky then 👌🏼

Gorgeous Bestie @vec 😍😘

I was going to dig up the pale pink one for you @jadojado29 but it hasnt appeared yet 😉

😂 well I can’t have that Bestie @vec the yellow has appeared but not the pink 🤔😂😘

No No No you do not belong in my tropical border .. pink and white ... *shudders* 😂 #tigridia Never seen one this colour before. Good job it was hiding and good job the flowers only last for one day 😉

It sure is exotic looking!💘😍

I'm going to try and label this one and the pink ones and give them to @jadojado29 😂 @ShelleySnyder

But it’s lovely! 🌸💕🤣🤣

It is beautiful in the right setting @rachelbrooks 😂

😂😂 does she want them?💘😍

I'm sure she can squeeze it in her new tropical corner 😂😂😂 @ShelleySnyder we've nicknamed her garden suju's

😂😂😂💘😍

Well I like it 🤣💞💞💞💞

Morning Bestie @vec yes it is morning 12.20am just managed to look on here Late to the party 🎉 Ooooo I can squeeze that in to the Tropical patio It’s a Beauty 😍 Got to find a sign or blank one at least so I can make up Suju Garden 👍😘

Just lovely 😍

@jadojado29 I'm waiting for this horror to pop it's head up 😂

Morning all. I know I'm not a fan of pink but #tigridia is forgiven as it's a bright pink 💖

Morning Hun me either but I’m easing myself in gently with the candyfloss colour 😉😆💓

I've got rid of everything pale pink and wishy washy @nessas

Ah they all say that! 🙄 as you told me with yellow...once you start you can’t stop! 😉😂

Hun it’s candyfloss baby steps baby steps not ready to use the P word yet 😆😆

Haha @rachelbrooks nope, bright "in yer face" pink can stay. Got a couple of bright pink zinnias that fit in well too 😂

Still pink! 😜😜

Oooo wishlist 💘💖💗💓💞💝🤣

😂😂😂 @juliesgarden

Very cool flower Julie!💘😍

Morning all, can it get much hotter ? Let's hope not 😓 #firstflower from #tigridia 💛

Morning Bestie @vec how fascinating is that 😍 God I hope it doesn’t get much hotter yesterday was bad enough, have a lovely day Julie & be careful out there, I sound like was it ‘Charlie’s Angels’ or ‘Hill street Blues’ can’t remember which one 😂😘

Gorgeous. Where is yours planted Julie? Sun or part shade? 🤔

It’s fascinating inside...it’s fabulous

Morning Julie, I hope not, yesterday was horrible 😱😱

Morning babes. Yes it’s gonna be another scorcher. I didn’t know what to do with myself yesterday 😬😰

Mostly full sun @hayleyaj but a bit of shade from the tree fern

Morning Hun pretty cloudy here so just nice might burn away later 💛😄

That’s gorgeous 💛

Morning @porto 😘

Morning @bigemrg yes I know, all that beauty gone in a day 😢

Morning Julie 😊

Morning Julie. Stunning flowers 👌

Morning Julie that stunning , enjoy your day 💕💕

Morning Julie @vec just realised these don't last long a day in fact such a shame as I quite like them. Think when & if my flower I will take them out of pot and put in the garden. Hope you have a Great start to the week 😘

In the space of an hour she's now fully open #tigridia 💛💛💛

Gorgeous Julie @vec I think I may have planted some of these or put another way I have an empty packet of these not to sure where they are think they might be in a pot will post a pic see what you think 😂

🌿💛💛💛💛

So lovely and exotic! I tried to grow some from seed, but no luck. They got so far but then died.

Gawjus Julie 💛💛💛

You have to be quick to see these. It closed up a couple of hours ago @Patiorose @Keely @jadojado29 and @plants

I used to have them in garden Julie but with work I very rarely got to see them open so I gave up on them 😂😂😂

I was thinking the same, think a pink one is going to be next. Good job I come home inbetween jobs even if it is only for a coffee and quick photo shot @Keely 😂😂😂

Beautiful Julie 💛💛💛

Morning Jayne, don't know if she'll open fully later. I'll be keeping an eye all day 😂 @jaynehynesburton
