Arum Lily

[borderbabe]

Has this happened to you? I looked out this morning and saw a lovely creamy yellow Arum Lily where a lovely black one should be! Thought I'd been careful with the labels. I think there will be some replanting if and when the black one appears 'cos now I dont know where that one is!!

Yep.....i had one yellow Datura germinate last spring and about 30 purple ones. I nurtured the yellow one whilst neglecting most of the purples only to find the yellow one was purple .

Exactly the same this year....just the one yellow but loads of purple and white. Hopefully i've veen a bit more careful this year

I bought a Lupin 'The Governor', for it to be a yellow one, when it grew up!! Think the G/C got it mixed up or did some kid go round swapping all the labels?!! The thing is, I was trying out a blue border and one yellow plant, looked sort of odd!! So I added a few more yellows and it worked!

I'd be grateful for any coloured Arum lily. Mine just will not flower.

My pink one is still showing no signs of flowering. Do you think it will?
