| JoAnn, Yes, that's just regular ole green elephant ears. My illustris has since come up and the combination is striking! Wish I could take credit, but I moved and just stuck dormant stuff in the ground. LOL! No, the hymenocallis isn't hardy. I just dig it around Halloween every year, knock the dirt off, and set it on my wall between the kitchen and den so I won't forget about it. It gets some light from the back patio, so the foliage can die down fairly naturally. I've had it about 4-5 years, so it seems to be working. The bulb is "ginormous" to borrow a phrase from the movie, "Elf". It always surprises me when it blooms. It will keep that up all summer. And it seems to bloom earlier each year. It's in a semi-shady, very wet area (as you can tell by all of the strawberries around it!) Glad you enjoyed the pics!
