Surprise Lily
This is a non-hardy Surprise Lily. This has to be planted in a pot and taken in during the cold months. The good part about it is you put the pot in the dark and don't water it at all. Early spring bring it out to the light and start watering it. The green part stays all summer, until fall and you start the cycle again. I have 2 pots of these. They bloom off and on all summer. This was given to me by an 89 year old lady the year before she died.

That's a cool plant and very pretty. Nice memory of you old late friend.
It's a beautiful lily but the memory makes it a treasure.

leedra: What beautiful colors on your Lily. My neighbor grows them so I get to take some photos.
Isn't that the most gorgeous color. Lilies are such a pretty flower. Great photo!
What a really gorgeous lily, such rich color! I'm glad to know you can take them in and put them in the dark all winter and then bring them out again. You will enjoy this lovely flower again in the spring!
