Oh, wonderful shot. Welcome to GOY

Beautiful pink colour.
Lovely photo.
Welcome to GoY.
Enjoy :o)

I planted Nerine Bowdenii x9 and Nerine Stephane x2 and they've been in for two years, and not one flower in fact Stephane looks like its gone altogether ground well drained and against a sunny wall, but planted a bit deeper than you might do at about 2 inches deep (Scottish winters) any ideas?

i planted loads last year not one even came up let alone flowered, maybe they don't like acid soil?

I'm with you there. Acidantheras - no show. Nerines - 2 flowered. At least you have more flowers per stem than me!

I planted 12 bulbs back in spring err...errr... 2007. Last autumn, I think I had two flowers. I think they take a while to settle down and DEFINITELY need sunshine! P.S. My Acidantheras have NOT flowered at all! Just leaves. :-(

????????????? i was given sum of these spring07 &theyv not flowered @all Spritz is this Normal u think? :/

Lovely flowers.

That's beautiful. :o)

I gather that they take some time to settle down. I shall leave them in situ and hope that I get more flowers next autumn!

beautiful colour... not a very good viability rate aye? will they naturalize or must you chock it up to experience and buy more next year?

I obtained some Nerine Bulbs from a friend & their shooting shall i plant them now?never grown them b4?

I would advise cutting the flowering stems off as the bulbs will now try and set seed which will use their energy. But leave theleaves to die down naturally as these will build the bulbs up again while they are still green

Hi Andrew, I have some Nerine Bowendii indoors and they have finished flowering and are producing leaves. Should I cut the flower stalks off and leave the foliage or cut everything back?

Nerines need full sun and their necks above soil. I also plant them in clumps so you get several flowers together

Is this a "magic lily" I always have a zillion leaves in the spring and just a few stalks in summer. I transplanted them, the bulbs look great, but I only get a few flowers to grow. What gives?

It wasn't deliberate! I thought there was a space to squeeze another plant in. Some bulbs can be propogated this way

I just wouldn't have the courage to copy that! You must have 'green feet' as well as 'green fingers'!!!! :-)

I seem to have more since I put my spade through the bulb!

A much more subtle colour than the usual one! Have you got a lot of Nerines?
