It’s mid-July and the garden is blooming, which is a feat here in Georgia what with our heat. One of those easy care plants that weathers the heat and humidity is this pineapple-like Eucomis. It takes zero care, multiplies but not too much, and has long interest what with its strappy leaves. Here’s a page of them on Brent and Backy’s Bulb’s site.
Is this a beauty or what? Hymenocallis. It’s been in the garden maybe eight years and has formed a nice big clump. Much like Crinum it needs time to become established and then puts on a show.
We equate bulbs with spring, but in summer they put on quite a show. I’ll try to get a picture of a rain lily. If we get any rain.
