The common name in Florida for these wonderful flowers/plants is Lily of the Nile. They would work perfectly with the corner bed I'm developing out back.

A freeze killed off most of my early budding flowers, so I am hungry for some color myself.

Dig out an area , put in some soil and throw in a handful of mixed seeds, cover them up and wait and see. My friend who lives most of the year in Tampa does just that and from the pictures she sends me, they are lovely and very colorful. They are also little to no work.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-37858725882063264762016-04-13T22:53:35.894-04:002016-04-13T22:53:35.894-04:00So pretty.
