The problem I have faced is 'losing' the names of certain plants after many years of just calling them "that gold trumpet lily", or that "pink Oriental", etc. I can rest assured what I got from American Meadows is not anything I currently am growing. The one bulb I received on May 6, 2006 was planted the same day it arrived, and was showing TWO growth spikes within a few weeks. It had self-divided and sent up two stems with both giving me two blooms each in its first summer after planting. It is very attractive, and I can only imagine what its growth and blooms next year will be like. |

Beautiful bright yellow to golden flowers so large and heavy they had to be staked. The fragrace was heavenly of slight rose but more of a berry like, oh it was wonderful.... |
