Each bloom is short-lived here, Arnold. I had a great display of them and 'Album' the third week of June. The mother bulbs on the standard pinks bloomed this past week, a little stronger and taller, but not nearly the display offered by their daughter bulbs surrounding them. For the first time my 8 feet or so of Eucomis pole-evansii are blooming well. I'm going to try to put some E. montana pollen on some tomorrow. Any day now, the Lycoris squamigera should start blooming, but I am guessing the 25th. Will be adding fresh mulch tomorrow. Mr. Kelly M.
