Another tea cup size bulb with a vibrant pink bloom that suffered a little from falling over but....

And the lovely Ballerina, another tea cup size bulb - a beautiful double with a slightly different pink color.

Oh so lovely they are!! Thank you for sharing J!

Lovely pics :o) Dan

Thanks so much Lena and Dan! Everything is starting to bloom now - so as not to compete with Christmas I think :)

Anyway, here is Sweet Lillian.

J,

Your pictures are all very lovely, I can't pick a favorite but I have a Tosa about to bloom in a few days and I'll be very pleased if it's as lovely as yours!!
Do either Bellissimo, Hot Lips and or Ballerina have shorter stems or are they really tall like cybisters.. just curious..

Thank you Donna and Arif :)

Donna, Bellisimo an Ballerina have scapes that are 11 to 12 inches (28 - 30 cm). They are such tiny bulbs (little smaller than a golf ball)but put out a beautiful display of flowers. Hot Lips is like the cybisters - tall. It is also a small bulb in a small pot = fell over lol. Tosca is large flowered, large bulb, but is only as tall as Bellisimo an Ballerina.

I can't imagine Tosca being anything other than beautiful - rich raspberry color - so I am sure you will be very happy when yours blooms!

Your bellisimo sure lives up to her name, she is precious. Mine just opened up over the weekend too and I hope she offsets in time. I can just imagine a potful of these beauties. Thanks for the pictures and my wishes to you for a Happy and Healhy New Year,

Warm Regards,
Fred
