My esperanza seem to come back for me every year. It is weird actually, because my neighbor seems to lose hers every winter. Maybe I am mulching better. I dunno.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I do have the coopers rainlily. I found some bulbs in a rock a couple years ago, didn't know what they were, and stuffed them in the ground. Then this spring - surprise! - A big ol' white rain lily. It went to seed and I spread the seeds around, so hopefully I will have more ;)Lee17https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585316725404778916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731563993146062027.post-21545183869938270442008-06-22T18:32:00.000-07:002008-06-22T18:32:00.000-07:00Diana,Thank you!

Yeah, mine never froze back all the way last winter so they are probably blooming a little earlier than the ones that did. <BR/><BR/>I love rain lilies. They aren't something I could have back up north, so I am really enjoying having them down here ;)Lee17https://www.blogger.com/profile/13585316725404778916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731563993146062027.post-54788546247769075442008-06-20T18:14:00.000-07:002008-06-20T18:14:00.000-07:00Hello Lee17, Pride of Barbados always look spectac...Hello Lee17, <BR/><BR/>Pride of Barbados always look spectacular, and yours are especially nice! I've never grown one - duranta and esperanza are annual in my garden and I'm afraid the caesalpina would be annual too. <BR/><BR/>Nice rain lily! Do you also have the native white-blooming coopers rainlily? <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2731563993146062027.post-63793566806521350802008-06-20T15:17:00.000-07:002008-06-20T15:17:00.000-07:00Lee17 - Great flowers!

No blooms on mine yet as they are very young trees, but I can't wait for a month from now when they will likely show for me. The Rain lilies are so pretty - simple and delicate.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.com
