This week we have been enjoying 3 first time bloomings: *Tigridia multiflora* - a cute little species from Mexico. The flowers have a sparkle inside that is difficult to photograph. Unfortunately they only last one day. http://flickr.com/photos/morabeza79/… http://flickr.com/photos/morabeza79/… *Eucomis comosa* 'Sparkling Burgundy' - I got this years ago and stayed in a 1 gallon (~3L) pot and this year I put it into a 7 gallon pot, sunk it in the ground, and it bloomed! http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/… http://flickr.com/photos/xerantheum/… * Ammocharis baumii* - This plant is just absolutely beautiful. It makes a single flower with a 4" perianth tube. The flowers started out white and then turned pink in 12 hours and lasts only 48 hours.
