A grow bag planted with a package of bulbs bought at a big box store. These are supposed to be a "licorice mix."

Lilies are always a show stopper. They are gorgeous.

Beautiful! I used to love mine, then I got lily beetles and they destroy the plants every year now. :cry:

I bought a pack of bulbs at Lowe's and planted them in a grow bag. They came up and a few are ready to bloom any minute and a couple of others have buds but will take some more time. One of the varieties is supposed to be Black Charm. I'm waiting to see if that one lives up to its name.

"Lava Joy." You can find all kinds of varieties on the internet if you look around.

This is supposed to be Black Charm, but it looks lighter in direct sunlight.

Looks about right to me from when we had it here @SpookyShoe . More of a really deep red than black

Just for the drama effect, I was hoping it would turn out to be much darker.

This should be the last variety for this year. I have two plants left to bloom and I'm pretty sure they are Black Charm. This one is called Majestic Joy.
