Montbretia June 27, 2015

 Bright orange flowers!  Montbretia's small bulbs multiply very quickly.  I read about these bulbs in Scott Ogdens southern bulb book.  They don't thrive in dry soil.  The bulbs survive and return the next year, but they don't flower.  I finally moved them to another spot and they are very happy in their new location.  The greenery dies back after they bloom.
