I love my Gaucho OTs (Oriental-Trumpet hybrid) - they smell lovely and look a lot like my star gazers, only bigger! This is the 2nd summer - I planted 6 bulbs in spring of 2023 and have several more that sprouted from those bulbs 🥰

Any day for my shorter orientals myself, the bulbs are starting to turn colour! And my rose is starting open up and more are starting to as well. Should be a bloomfiesta by this weekend!

Ooh, that's exciting! They'll be beautiful!

I'm going to have to move my star gazers after the growing season is done. They only bloom one flower each year, and have never sprouted new stems from the bulbs/scales!
