Red Flare. Tropical night bloomer. Let me know when you're ready for one.

That was my first guess or Red Cup but I wasn't sure because it looks like there's white streaks on the petals..
Tammie would know!

One of these days I hope to have better knowledge of tropicals but right now I am just glad to be able to grow them!

I've seen a few members post their photos of this Red Flare. Definitely a beauty!

I wonder if this is what tinkster sent me... Hmm But you know Tammie I am always a sucker for one of your lillies. Come spring I will be ready if my 3 other tropicals make it through. Thanks as always Tammie!

She is sure a vivid flower for sure. I was semi complaining

that she was so neon bright that it made all my other lillies look washed out .

If she winters over for you, next summer I hope to try a blue/purple tropical of some sort. If you can let me know one your wanting and dont have, thats the one I will get and then I can send it to you again at the end of my season, I dont ever hope to try to winter any over so I plan on just buying one or so a year to enjoy then give to whoever can overwinter

Well the one you sent me is haning in there, I even thought that she was going to bloom onl last time, She had a bloom headed for the surface, but then the temperature dropped and it seem like she stopped dead in her tracks. The other two tropicals continue to bloom. The n.Midnight is putting up some huge blooms and so is my Queen of Siam. The QOS has gotten significantly larger so I am hoping that the winter doesn't take them out. Would really love to see them back next season. Thanks again Tinkster!!
