The coolest part of those pix is the little pinkish colored flowers. They are actually just a weed that popped up like a dandelion but I really like their color and at least they are not prickly like many other weeds.

The purple flower is smaller than a dime. It is actually the bloom of an edible purple form of pepper somewhat like a jalapeno. I think it said it was from Brazil when I bought it last year.
Remember I am from Texas, we like our food to bite back somewhat.

The last 2 pictures are an Aztec Lily.
I bought three bulbs at a plant sale for $10 and was told I was getting a great deal. They had a single plant that was about 6 inches tall that they wanted $25 for.
I only planted this a few weeks ago and already I have a bloom. I haven't researched the plant yet but it is pretty cool looking and man was that fast.
I do know this much...
Family: Amaryllidaceae
Genus: Sprekelia
Species: formosissima

What is that red & white one? The amaryllis is gorgeous . . . I have one about to bloom, but I haven't a clue which one it is!!!

Timgod · « **Reply #18 on:** May 04, 2007, 06:44:20 AM »

It is one of an assortment of lilium's I bought the year before last. I do not remember it's name. It is just the 1st to pop up this year.
I believe it is in the same family as the stargazers.

Ky Kim,
I like strong colors as well.... reds, blues, and purples the best.
