I was out in the garden yesterday and noticed my Oxblood Lilies blooming. Bought these from our good friends at Southern Bulbs last year.

Rhodophiala bifida is the scientific name for the Oxblood lily, which is sometimes called the School House lily. These hardy plants frequently make appearances in older neighborhoods of Central Texas. Red flowers bloom from September to November each year in the South. Oxblood lilies are historic and, until now, are almost impossible to buy.
