Herbertia lahue, cows, cameras, blue fuzzy bits

Joe, you've done it again. First you show us acres of blooming Hymenocallis,
and now it's acres of Herbertia lahue. What wonderful images!
The bovines aren't bad, either. I was about to call them cows - I guess that
tells you that I didn't grow up in cattle country.

My one lonesome plant of Hymenocallis liriosme seems pathetic.

Tell us more about the Herbertia, please. I have not yet grown this,
although it's evidently doable outside here in a protected spot.

I've read that the individual flowers are ephemeral. How long is the
blooming season for a group of plants?
