2009 Blooms #5

I really like "Iowa Rose" and "Miss France". Rita, isn't Miss France an Oriental? I am surprised it would be out this early where you are.

Boy do I feel left out! Only buds here -- even on the martagons! Way too much rain and too cool! I am enjoying all these pictures!

This has an incredible orange color - picture does not do it justice.

Another

Wow, nice coloring, I love the spots on that one Steve.

Don't know the name of these. BEV

Same ones closer.

Thanks Bev for the lollipops name;) It is a cute name too! Will have to make a marker! Ronna

You are welcome Ronna.
These are Mount Dragon.

Purple Deoro

White Stargazer

Great pics. Anyone on this thread into hybridizing the true lilies? Just wondering how long it would take to get a bloom.

Teresa in KY

Anywhere from 1 to 3 years depending on the type of lily (Asiatic, Oriental etc) and when the seeds get started. Some people keep seedlings growing inside over the winter and that gives them a head start. Many of the photos I post here are lilies I grew from seeds.

Yes, Miss France is an oriental I planted this spring. I don't know why she's blooming now, its way too early for when the orientals are supposed to bloom.

Isn't Miss France one of those dwarf Orientals? If so I think they tend to bloom earlier.

Steve...love that orange...I have a thing for orange daylilies too....

Had another flower on Eyeliner open today and it looked a lot better than the first one!

Lovely lilies all! :)

Here is my Earliest Pink Rosepoint Lace

FFO on Burgundy Splash

I really must have been into Orange Sherbet lilies at some point...

Shimmer..

Latvia...

A clear yellow NOID..

Burgundy Splash Clump

Oh yeah, nice clump! :)

Such a cheerful bunch of photos there. Nice to see your lily season really open up there Ticker. It means I can't be far behind...

'Calgary Tower'

Also meant to mention that I have a dwarf oriental, 'Miss Birma' and she is always very early in blooming, much earlier than the most other orientals. It's a welcome sight.

Arctic Ice. Showing a lot of lime color. Thanks Moby!

Thanks pixie, nanny :-) I do like your "Eyeliner", nanny - very unique. Can see how it got its name :-)

Tracey, your "Calgary Tower" is to die for - what terrific form and coloring!

So many awesome lilis, everyone....

You guys are doing a great job of adding to my want list! But can someone send me more yard and more sun first?

I 'need' so many...but I need more space first!! LOL

HA!!
