Saying Hello and some of my flowers blooming.
Hello everybody, I have been lurking in this group for a few months now and have been enjoying all the wonderful posts and information. I finally have some pictures of some of my blooming bulbs and thought I would say hello and post some photos. I also have a question about the last photo white flower with dark pink lines. I bought the bulb as bogota and this is what I got. Does anyone have a thought on name?
Nice to be here, John

6 years agoHi John,
Last year, my new Bogota turned out the same as yours did this year (from ETGB)!! I hope this isn't a trend, as I did end up with the correct Bogota from WFF this year eventually!! But earlier in this season I got a papilio instead of Bogota but I wasn't too upset with that switch.
This is my not-Bogota last year and it appears to match yours this year!!
Your Rosado is beautiful, actually, they are all lovely, except for the last one!! :-))Mine is sending up a scape currently but I don't expect much improvement but I will probably use it as a blank canvas and put some papilio and a cybister or two on mine. The not-Bogota bulb is huge and is a strong grower at least! And no, I don't know its true identity.

Hello, I'm back with some blooms
Comments (13)Thank you for a warm welcome back, everyone. And thank you, Mike, for the confirmation. Greedyghost: I collected some of the hoyas myself, some times from the pine trees near where my 2nd home is, some other times when I went back to my hometown in central Vietnam. But most of my hoyas are given me by friends who happened to come by them when they hunted for wild orchids in the jungles. Not many people are keen on hoyas here; they prefer orchids.

Comments (9)Thanks, so much, you know I'm kidding around right? (Voce sabe que é eu estou brincando, ne?) Bloom is the word for bloom, exactly, or when a plant flowers (Florir que dizer bloom, exato) Yes, I speak very rusty Portuguese, lacking practice. (Sim, eu falo Portuguese com muitos eros, faltando practica). Please be welcome here Brazilians. (Favor, sejao bemvindos aqui Brasileiros). Bye for now!!...See MoreLate Spring flowers in bloom?

Comments (6)For a large quantity of blooms to cut, you will probably be better off with annuals than with perennials, especially if you're growing them from seed. I grow mostly perennials and woody plants, but do have a few thoughts for you. Zinnias will grow and bloom quickly, but I find the water turns very smelly after just one day; so if you're going to arrange them the day before the wedding, that's a consideration. Cosmos also grow quickly, make good cut flowers, and should give you masses of blooms in colors ranging from white through pinks to deep red. Snapdragon is another quick grower, blooming in late spring to early summer. I hope someone will chime in with more suggestions for you. If not, perhaps try the Cottage Garden forum - there are lots of very friendly and experienced gardeners there from all over the country ... there's bound to be someone who grows annuals in your climate. Don't forget fillers (like baby's breath, gypsophila) and greens - you can choose from solid or variegated leaves, smooth or rough textures, large & bold leaves or long and narrow, even trailers like ivy, whichever best suits your arrangements and your fancy. A trusted friend to help with the arrangements sounds like a good idea. Have a wonderful time with the preparations and best wishes on your wedding day....See MoreSay Hello to my Little Friend
