Seeing the picture of your Oxblood Lilies in this blog post, I had to send you a thank you for the Oxblood Lilies you sent last year.
I’m located just east of St Louis on the Illinois prairie…so our climate is cooler than Texas…but the Oxblood Lilies bloomed beautifully during early September this year. I was very pleased with my first try at growing these stunning cultivars. I’m looking forward to more years of brilliant red blooms during late summer.
Thanks again…
