Re: SPEC: Belamcanda chinensis
Dennis: I've grown Belamcanda chinensis for years; it's the Blackberry Lily
because of the "blackberry" appearance of its seed clusters. You'd
swear those
bunches of seeds were blackberries ripe for picking. It blooms only orange
with black spots. It has to be crossed with something else (somebody gave
that name a few days ago) to produce the multicolored Candy Lily. Nancy
Pocklington in Central IL. (Note the cute "corkscrew" action as BC
folds.
Also, it seeds freely and the seedlings are easy to move.)
