GLORIOSA SUPERBA

Today's weather - sunny
It is not exactly when one life ends, one life begins but on this particular Glory Lily that I posted recently, one of the flowers was starting to fade and another bud was fast developing.


Within just a matter of 3 days, the 5 thin wavy yellow and red petals unfolded upwards just as the older flower takes on an orangey shade and its petals drooped in despair. The ovary of the first flower swelled in size and soon I will be posting its photos again for comparison.


For a first time grower of this monocotyledonous plant, it is amazing to watch its growth and development.
