Bulbs were in good condition
These just bloomed - on sunny days, they look like a tropical hibiscus, the petals opening wide to reveal a radiant orange interior. On cloudy days, the petals come tightly together to form a teardrop shape, with an entirely different color palette - with orange, pink even reddish stipes.
Earlier than 'late', but exceeded my hopes! Super tall, huge blooms, beautiful variation in hues of orange. When they open in the sun, easily 6-8 inches wide.
Bulbs were super healthy and a really good size. Even got extras. Thx!
Lovely plant and made an excellent gift!
