These pretty flowers are not all that all that easy to grow. They come in a wide variety of colors. They are called the Inca lily, Peruvian lily and known by various other names as well. I had these plants growing in a container for a year. But they do not take well to these hot summers even though I had kept them in the shade.
Propagation is by dividing or planting the rhizomes. These flowers bloom well in our mild winters. they are popular as cut flowers and in flower arrangements. These are one of my favorite flowers. I never forget to buy me a bunch of these whenever I go by the flower market.

They are gorgeous! Cut flowers for vases can be more expensive than blooming plants in flowerpots, and usually last shorter, so I avoid them.
A beautiful flower. I don’t buy flowers, I have them in the garden.
I never cut flowers from the garden. 😀
I have some small flowers in the garden and sometimes blossom some flowers into a vase
Hmm.. its always wonderful to have fresh flowers.
There are lots of flowers around me … only flowers I look at
Those are pretty flowers.
I sometimes just use leaves and make an arrangement.
The leaves are grass like and pretty too.
Lovely flowers, I pick flowers from my garden.
So you grow them . They do love the cooler climes.
I don’t buy fresh flowers, but my husband does a lot.
That is very sweet of him to do.
