I Waited Two Seasons for this?

What a disappointment this Peruvian daffodil (also known as Spider lilies) proved to be! I planted it in April of 2009 and have been waiting patiently for the gorgeous blooms the package promised.

So far I have just one bug-nibbled bloom. It's interesting---you know how I love flowers with weird blooms! Have you ever seen a daff that looks like this? Cool!


But this is what the packaged promised:
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.......that is all I can say.

In honor of the slightly cooler day today, I had chili for dinner.


MMMMM...MMMMMMM....cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips and fresh chives--Now this is how chili should be eaten!

    I love Sour Cream on Chili. We do the same thing. My husband had never tried it until I introduced it to him. Now he has to eat his chili w/ Sour Cream too! :)

    Oh no...that is a little disheartening...but I agree with the above comments...maybe it will take a few years to fill out and be lush like the photo.

    It's sweltering here and still I could go for a bowl of that chili right now!

    Eh. Go with Red Spider Lilies instead of the Peruvian whites.

    Chili, then a sprinkling of cheddar cheese, then the dollop of sour cream.

    DH adds chopped fresh onion above his cheese, and skips the sour cream.

    And Dear Friend puts a tiny pinch of cinnamon in her chili.
