    I planted these in February, and have been watching them get taller month by month and praying they would open before the flower competition..and lo & behold they started flowering Thursday - well pleased with them so far :)

                Thanks everyone :)
                I bought these from Thompson & Morgan back in January this year, the varieties are ;-
                • Collection comprises:Tree Lily® ‘Yellow Rocket’ - Silken yellow petals fade to creamy white edges.
                • Tree Lily® ‘Starburst’ - Shimmering gold, perfumed blooms are flushed with crimson red.
                • Tree Lily® ‘Pink Explosion’ - Sumptuous backward curving, pink petals and an exquisite fragrance to match.

                They do look lush out in the garden lol!!

                    Nice one sweet-pea:blue thumb: BTW, I notice you're in Keynsham, not far from me:)
                    Mine still have some way to go before flowering, I'm guessing maybe another two weeks? When they do, I'll post some pics in the thread I started..'Tree Lilies'
                    I would urge folks to give them a try, because they really are quite imposing, when in flower:blue thumb:

                    Cheers...Freddy

                      Thanks Freddy, Yep i agree with you there, they certainly make a fabulous display :)
                      My 6 bulbs have varied height but between 4-5 ft high in the first 6 months :dbgrtmb:

                      And thank you for your advice for putting them outside the greenhouse :blue thumb:
