Last year in March I excitedly posted about my White Spider Lilies flowering for the first time. This year the end of March came and there were no flowers. I traveled down the Garden Route at that time and found flowering spider lilies at Fancourt outside George. I was very disappointed that mine decided not to flower this year.
That was until last week when I noticed that they started to flower. I am really chuffed. Problem now is that I thing I should take them out the pot and put them in the ground. I’m just afraid that they may decide not to flower next year. I may just attempt it though.
Yay – they are flowering !! They should be ok in the ground – just don't disturb the roots. I have seen them on pavements here growing like agapanthus – so they should transplant well.
How pretty they are Jonker. Some plants do take a couple of years before flowering again when you transplant them so don't be discouraged, plant them in the garden and give them a chance to flower in their own time. They will soon spread out and make a wonderful show.

Those are truly unusual looking lilies. Glad yours are blooming. Maybe get some more to plant in the ground.

Cool flowers. Chuffed is local term for put off or upset? If so, why? The bloomed! Yours will be around longer than those early bloomers! 🙂
