2009 LILY BLOOMS #6

Pink Giant

Tramp

And here's the really exciting part (to me, anyway) ~ I planted one Tramp bulb in the Fall of '06 and added another in '07. Now I have 5 full stems and 9 little stems. Sure wish all orientals increased like that!

pixie62560,
Wishing you a significantly good day-
some crimson pixie from early June:

NOID, one of my first lilies...

I've been lurking for months, I think, enjoying everyone's gorgeous lilies (and adding more to my list even though I really don't have any more room...). There have been so many wonderful ones that I can't compliment them individually, but I've sure enjoyed seeing all the pictures! :) Finally, finally, I can post a few of mine. They seem late this year-or I'm more impatient than usual, lol!

Oh, I do want to say that Katinka is really nice-where did you get it?

First, my cute little Mt Duckling

Part of my clump of Mt. Bachelor-these are as tall as I am, and only in their second year. I got these in Gemini-Sage's coop last year, and they sure are sturdy, good growers and bloomers.

Buggycrazy's Alexly, with a bit of morning sun partially behind the bloom. This one's new for me this year and I'm really liking it a lot

Another Alexly in shade. I think the colors show a little better in this one. It just opened Weds. morning

Another Buggycrazy lily, Dry Rot. I think, considering this one's name, that it's ironically appropriate that you can see my neighbor's "clean green" garden waste tote a little out of focus behind it. This is actually a nice lily despite its name.

FInally, a leaning "Fairest" from TLG. I need to do a little pruning for this one, I think-either that or move it next year.....

And, the back of Fairest

You have some nice ones I haven't seen before susybell. Glad you're finally getting some blooms.

What is some lilies that would do well in pots? I have several out in the garden but would love to put a couple on the front porch to add height and color to my other container plants.
Thanks,
Teresa

Moby and Susybell, what great lilies ! I like Katinka and Mt Duckling, and Dry Rot is cool. Mary it is interesting that you have Orientals and Asiatics blooming at the same time.....I am trying to get a feel for when everyone's Orientals bloom depending on the location.

Hi Steve, I haven't been posting lately, but 'Muscadet' has been blooming up a storm. Odd enough, my Stargazer hasn't yet.

I love 'The Fairest', so dainty looking!

Thank you JMorth!!

Happiest of Birthdays to you, pixie!

I have some Red Alert baby bulbs form lilyfan. I hope next year I get to see a bloom. It looks so pretty.

Thank you Neal!!

Pixie...what a great day for a birthday. Have a great one. So happy to your lilies blooming .

'Tiger Babies' is one I can always imagine being radiant with a whole field of them blooming at once.

'Midnight Raspberry' Deep, dark and beautiful.

'Green Goddess'

'Edith Cecilia' with 'Burnished Rose' in the background'

a langkogense hybrid that was sent as the wrong lily for 'Midsummer's Eve', but I really enjoy it.

Thank you Tracey! Wow on the lilies...some of these I've never even heard of before. I need to expand my shopping horizon!!!

Midnight Raspberry is beautiful! Love the name too. L.candidum is one I've coveted for years- is it fragrant?

Yelloween started blooming a couple of days ago here.

Beautiful lilies everyone, I'm enjoying the show.

S-W Gardens is where Katinka came from. http://www.s-wgardens.com/
Steve ~ SW also has an easy to read list of bloom season. BC lists Tramp as an early Oriental and she's my first.

Katinka is gorgeous! Thanks for the link, Moby. I hadn't found them before. So that's where some of your many beauties come from!

jmorth--where did you get your 'Lady Alice'?

ticker--where did you find 'Lilian'?

My Mom goes out to dinner on Wednesday each week with two elderly ladies whose names are Alice and Lillian. I thought it would be fun to buy her some lilies with names she could remember. She already has a 'Gladys my Love' iris for an old family friend named Gladys.

Hi everyone, finally I've some pix to share, one of my tigers lilies.

Nanny your trumpets are so lovely, and I love all those Martagon lilies. Happy B-day to you Pixie.

So many beauties and this thread has only been here for one day.

Thank you Lily Love! Beautiful lily!!

Here is my Tiger last yr but is getting ready. BEV

Daltri, most likely I got Lillian from Buggycrazy. :)

Wow, Tracey, nice lilies!! :) Lovely lovely lovely!

Neal, love that Yelloween!

Lily Love and Dragonfly, what's not to love about a Tiger! :)

Keep the pictures coming! :)

My triple Kwanso and I have some pretty seedlings from them that are a melon color. BEV
