Here is the fifth and final bud open. Interesting the only insects on the flowers are fruit flies. I notice no scent. The pup is very compact and full of leaves. My other Worsleya a couple years till it blooms I hope.

I am located in central NJ, northeastern USA. USDA Zone 7. 

Here is a photo from today. Not all fully open but rain has started. Not sure what the rain will do to the blooms. 

Second time this plant bloomed. First bloom was December 2022. 

My first set of flowers. Not bad for a guy in NJ. 

Nerine sarniensis

Worsleya procera

I'm 2014 I purchased an offset 3 leaf bulb of Worsleya procera. I repotted it this spring. My son noticed today new 'leaves' growing maybe three to the left of the growing point. Could this be a flower forming? 

Paramongaia weberbaueri (winter growing)

Three years ago I purchased one near flowering sized bulb. Second year in flower. I also purchased 5 'summer' growing bulbs. The 5 came up in summer for two years but this year nothing. Fall of this year they emerged. I guess they are not summer growers after all. 

Second inflorescence of B bosmaniae. The first inflorescence was so heavy it broke. Also Haemanthus pubescens arenicola.

First time to flower for me. Brunsvigia bosmaniae. Two flower stalks too! Here is a Drimia maritima. 

Boophone disticha in near full bloom. Also a Sinningia leucotrica in a 8" pot.

Rosemary has lovely flowers and my Boophone flowers may have opened if it was sunny in nj. Need to wait till Sunday.

My swamp pink (Helonias bullata) and a desert orchid (Eulophia petersii).

Martin I have a question or two. Please feel free to move this if this is the wrong location to ask a question. When I try to attach a file and hit the 'take photo' it goes to my camera but no image. I am using an iPhone XR. Also when I post a single picture it fills the screen. Multiple pictures I get thumbnails. How do I get thumbnails all the time?
