I have a couple of things here (nothing as remarkable as Hippeastrum..lol) that likely are surviving due to a few years of snow arriving before serious cold, and staying till after the serious cold... that timing is not guaranteed long term..<br />Hope you can get the Oreoxis going..Cohanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10671162836849472980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156146376396069471.post-92149874190883625552014-12-03T19:25:19.674-08:002014-12-03T19:25:19.674-08:00Wow!

It is in well-drained (if nutrient-drained) clay between Basalt boulders. It was given to me in high school; which admittedly, was not long ago- 2002, perhaps. It has grown slowly, not increasing in number, but has bloomed each year after having two in the ground. I forget it exists every year, and every year (If I'm around) it suprises my pants off when it pierces red out of that gurgling sea of Hedera...<br /><br />This summer, I jammed one of the common 'Red Lion' cultivars nearby just for kicks.Kenton J.

I...Wow! that's a pretty amazing series of pix!<br /><br />I love the Oreoxis too--umbellifever is catching, watch out.<br /><br />Can't believe you have grown the damn Hippeastrum: I have admired this in Texas where it grows as far north as Eden at least: I have been wanting to try it...and you have grown it for "many years": heck, man, you aren't even that "many years" old: tell me: does it bloom reliably? In April or May?<br /><br />Very cool indeed!Panayoti Kelaidishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846898350006673316noreply@blogger.com
