I moved the pots out of the greenhouse on August 18. Of the 20 pots, one or two were showing little green nubs. Rainfall: 7/100ths of an inch the night of August 18 6/10ths the next night, August 19, and 7 of the 20 pots showing green 1/10th in a brief but heavy rain the afternoon of August 20 3.06 inches, coming down as heavy rain after midnight overnight August 21/22 and in the evening of August 22 1.44 inches overnight August 22/23 And today, August 25, I see that 14 of the 20 pots are flowering magnificently. Just one week. Rhodophiala does hurl itself into bloom Zephyranthes candida is also flowering, has been for a while. It multiplies prodigiously. Somehow I now have too many pots of this charming white rain lily and the pots of any other kind have vanished.

Just going out to take these 3 pictures has me sweating so that I look like I had been underwater -- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus/ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
