Ox Blood Lilies

Friends, My Ox Blood Lilies, Rhodophiala bifida, are in bloom!  Like Spider Lilies, Ox Blood Lilies bloom soon after rain in September.    I really do like them!

  1. My oxbloods are opening this week in western Louisiana.  They are also lovely in the deep pink shades.  They are particularly gorgeous in front of yellow spider lilies.  Oxbloods signal the start of bulb season.  Oxbloods will repeat bloom, although not as heavily as the early bloom. Keith Kridler grows oxbloods in mass and sells this bulb.  Annette Parker Kahn

  2. Annette,

    If you can, would you post pictures of your yellow spider lilies?  I have never seen a yellow spider lily! We have the red spider lily everywhere here in Central Mississippi with scapes beginning to appear with promise of blooms to follow!
