Hybrid between Amaryllis belladona and a crinum, ×Amarcrinum display their
lilylike pink trumpets at summer's end, just before relocating into the greenhouse.

Late summer rain. I move the summer dry pots of Rhodophiala bifida out of the greenhouse.
Within a week they hurl themselves into bloom. Hysteranthous, leaves appear after flowers.

Flowers of the West Wind, Zephyranthes candida, thrive in shallow standing water.

Canna 'Bengal Tiger' (or perhaps it is 'Pretoria') with
yellow striped leaves and pumpkin orange flowers.

Crinum ×powellii is a "primitive" bulb in that the flower stalk emerges not
from the center of the leaves but rather from the side of the pseudostem.

I think I remember four o'clocks from my childhood in Chicago. There were these sort of bushy plants that appeared each year. They had yellow and fuchsia streaky flowers that opened in the afternoon and closed the next morning. But that was a long time ago. Now I have

Mirabilis 'Alba' with white flowers and also

Mirabilis 'Orange Crush'.
Note: Interestingly, in early fall as the weather turns cool
the flowers of 'Orange Crush' instead open a lovely rosy pink.
