Hopefully they'll come back in full force next summer. I've had the same issue with Cosmos, but after I severely deadhead them, they come back in full force. I understand about the trip. Traveling virtually is pretty nice, too--less expensive and fewer hassles.

For some reason, cosmos are inconsistent here. Some years, they've looked good, but other times, they'll get very tall, with just a few blooms.<br /><br />You put up some awesome photos of Italy.

But the catalog I bought mine from listed them as amaryllis, not lycoris. Mine haven't come up yet. I'm so glad you've had cooperative plants this year, considering your drought.

I think the variety is 'Indian Summer' or 'Becky,' although I'm not sure because I can't see the original tag because the plants are so full right now. I'll let you know if I find it. They bake along the bright, west side of the house--even in winter. The light-colored house reflects the sun, so that soil stays warmer year-round. And I leave the seed heads on all winter for the birds.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-33024392093928791492012-08-19T13:25:26.471-05:002012-08-19T13:25:26.471-05:00Thanks, Lula.
