 @452504bc  I have these in my garden in Adelaide,  South Australia. Here we just call them Dietes. Didn't  know they were called fortnight lily. Is there a reason for the name?

 @0177da18 not that I'm aware of, but it would be interesting to find out...they do really well here in SF. Beautiful summer flowers. 🙂

 @452504bc They're  used a lot in public landscaping here because they're so tough and drought proof. Mine are arranged in a circle and when they had flower heads all around last year they looked really pretty.
