Some of you are, anyway. Not here! But it’s a good excuse for me to do a post on hot red or orange blooms.
Crocosimia ‘lucifer’ in three stages of blooming.
And an orange variety, maybe montbretia? Had it for years but this is the first time it honoured us with flowers.
Rudbeckia! Comes back every year so far.
The thing that isn’t rudbeckia. Something with a G? Man I’m terrible. Grown from seed a few years ago now, it also come back.
Edit: it’s Galliardia!
A new one this year! This time I haven’t a clue due to a packaging mis-label, because this is NOT gladiolus callianthus. Oh well.
Gazania!
Red and black lilies, more of Aldi’s pixels mix. I should be the Aldi bulb spokesperson!

That certainly looks like montbretia to me, but I have no idea what the yellow thing is. Your gazanias are stunning.
I figured out the not-rudbeckia! It is Galliardia!
Nothing wrong with the storage system, it’s just the retrieval process!
Very pretty and wonderfully colorful. Worth the wait for them to flower. I think you have a gift, both for growing but also for the patience to allow time to do its trick. Grand. Be well. Hugs
I think it all happens too fast, sometimes!
Those are so beautiful
Thanks! More inspiration for you 🙂
Yes for sure
Definitely montbretia. South African and we have the in many places around the garden.
