Gloriosa Lily Finally Bloomed!


I've been trying for almost a year to grow gloriosa lily from tubers from ebay with no luck, and finally a few months ago they sprouted! The vine grows quickly, so every few days I was having to clip the curly ends of the leaves onto things to help them hold on. The first one died after blooming and left behind what appears to be seed pods, but not completely sure yet.

These flowers are dramatically beautiful and were totally worth the wait.
