Like almost any other flower, eremurus blossoming doesn't seem to last long enough. Each flower on the spike doesn't last very long - a day or two. Compare the photo above to the last posting from 4 days ago. Fortunately, the spike is fairly long, so that the show lasts for a week or so. If you have the talent for pampering them, the spikes are longer, which doesn't necessarily mean a longer blossoming since more of the blossoms will be open on the spike at once. You do get a bigger show, though, so it is still worth the effort. The eremurus season will last longer if you have a few different varieties which bloom at different times. I'm eager to try E. himalaicus, particularly since I saw a stunning combination of it with an allium (somehow, Blogger deleted all the comments from my last posting...GRR!).
