I lost track of the "WEEK" aspect so I guess the topic should be dated 7/26/2011? When does the week start? Can one of the list managers go in and fiddle our subject lines into some sort of uniformity? Bloom is actually pretty sparse here in central Indiana just now. The heat has discouraged me from taking pictures of things, but I may post links to pictures later. Nonetheless, I was able to come up with the following lists of actual flowers in bloom. In bloom today (in pots): Arisaema fargesii Arisaema tortuosum Arisaema yunnanense aridum Crinum razafindratsiraea http://srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php/… Haemanthus carneus Haemanthus humilis humilis Haemanthus humilis hirsutus Nerine krigei In bloom in the ground: Crinum bulbispermum Crinum 'Emma Jones' Crinum x-powellii Crinum variabile http://srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php/… Crocosmia 'Elizabethan Gardens' Crocosmia 'Lucifer' Gladiolus x-gandavensis Hemerocallis (daylilies -- not bulbs but geophytes) numerous cultivars and species, list on request Hosta ventricosa (not bulbs but geophytes) The Arisaema would probably have bloomed earlier and be bloomed out by now, but I was quite tardy in getting them out of storage. Now, I'm glad I delayed. They tolerate such shifts in season quite readily. The Haemanthus humilis hirsutus in bloom now is about on schedule, but another pot of it bloomed over a month ago, well ahead of schedule. I don't think I am to blame for that aneuchronicity. Nerine krigei is the first Nerine to bloom this season. I have yet to catch one in a photogenic condition so far this week. N. filifolia usually blooms about now or a bit sooner, but apparently not this year. Other nerines will not bloom until later, and the sarniensis hybrids should bloom in September. The last to bloom for me is undulata, usually in January. Hymenocallis eucharidifolia bloomed out a few days ago, so it does not qualify for this week's bloom list. Hymenocallis occidentalis is not due to bloom for another week or so, but due to the drought it may not bloom at all this year.
