This is the bloom I did the shots of I posted the last few days. It is at the end of life. But there are three buds showing in the shot. (This plant had pure yellow flowers 3 years ago when I got it, now they are yellow and lavender/purple.
The other pot has plants that were pure lavender/purple, that pot also has three buds which are showing a bit of lavender/purple-by Thursday or Friday I should know what I have. When I bought them in early 2016 they were single blub/plants in a very small pot. They are now in a medium size pot with at least 5 or 6 bulbs showing in each pot. I believe I will take them out, separate them and put half in pots as part of my movable jungle for pictures of the bird baths and put the others in one of my flower beds. I have been working on the back yard for 2+ years, the wife wants me to fix up the front yard now. I think I had better start doing that since A) I love her & B) she is a retired OR/Surgical RN and Surgical Tech and knows how to use sharp things plus being 9 years younger she runs faster than I do.

Ahhhh! that yellow back ground strikes again, it came out a bit darker than I processed it.

Thank you very much

Thanks, the background is just other plants and pots VERY out of focus. There were some weird artifacts that I got rid of by cloning other parts of the background over them and then using the smudge tool to get rid of the edges of the clone. All the little geometric highlights are back lit water drops from watering the plants shortly before.
