Blooms for most of the other Aloes I have tend to all look the same.<br /><br />Danger: My in-ground Soap Aloes have struggled this year after getting hammered this past winter; but the potted one did come through for me.<br /><br />Cynthia: Wish my Oxbloods would bloom - they never have. The photos I see of them in other garden blogs are quite impressive.<br /><br />Linda: Seeing as Liriope is presently one of my more prolific bloomers, perhaps I need more in my garden!RBellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144562147128230710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134240985482133454.post-13237731196785949462011-09-16T11:41:57.917-05:002011-09-16T11:41:57.917-05:00Liriope is one of my favorite plants.

They haven't gotten much water, since they're along the dry creek/drainage thing in the fenced yard...part of the lawn area. We can't water grass. <br />Had a yellow rain lily pop up out front, under a soaker hose.

I have never had but one flower stalk on mine. I have rain lilies to but not a drop of rain. I think it must have been a combination of some cooler mornings and watering. I have the yellow one but something has grown over the top of it and I think it may have given up the ghost.
