Thank you Judy for the pictures - I sometimes have to go find the plants mentioned using the official names! My rain lilies come in for the winter, and then in the spring I plant them in the garden. over the years the number grew from a dozen or so to hundreds. And this is after I give several bags with a dozen or so to others. I started with regular flowers, but now - I have those that have 7-8 or more petals. I am attaching a picture I took a few days ago in my garden. Enjoy, Luminita On Sat, Jun 23, 2018 at 9:03 PM, Judy Glattstein <jgglatt@gmail.com> wrote: > I have had this plant for decades.
