The line of Cladoxus "Katherinae" also called "Paint-brush lilies" have a bed of
Erigeron which pop up in many places in our gardens and pots. When the lilies
die down and take a rest over summer the little daisies take over until its
time for the lilies to come into flower in July/August (our winter). They flower before the
leaves arrive, and this year we had 14 giant blooms of russet red. The
leaves are quite attractive as seen in this image. They share the narrow
bed with one rose "Dusky Maiden" a single red. They are in close proximity
with the photo featured "next" and can be seen through the main bedroom window.
I grew the Cladoxus from seed and they took about 5 years before starting to bloom.
