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!
