2009 Lily Blooms #11

well, I'll be.... I'm always complaining that I can't grow asiatics and just discovered that Brunello is an asiatic. Oh well, it remains to be seen if it will return for me.

vossner, aka Aprilia

Aprilia-vossner you need to talk to Steve about those asiatics. I would think they would actually be the easiest for you to grow down there.

all research indicates they ARE supposed to be easier, maybe they just don't like me, except Brunello.

Start with 'Brunello' and then tell him that in order to be happy, he needs friends ;)

Beautiful pix, Mags. Are you sure that's Contrast? http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/127632/

Nope I'm not certain at all. It was labeled as such via a less than stellar source. So it could be Cookies and Cream as far as I know. Lol. Though I must say it has more of a "contrast" than the 'Contrast' in Plantfiles. Go figure. Cookies and Cream it is ^_^

And 'Double Vision' photo shows pink in the catalog and I wouldn't call it pink. It is definitely and strong stemmed double of which I have not seen yet. I have to check on that tomorrow.

It's a gorgeous lily by any name, and I'd have it in my garden any day. :)

Mags, yes, everything is really off schedule this summer. It worked out good for me because I didn't miss too much while I was on vacation. I love LF-1!

Vossner, just guessing, but I think the clump of Conca d' Or is about 4 years old. It does really well for me and the fragrance is wonderful.

Lilsista, Pink Twinkle is sweet.

Here is Wild Heart.

Candy Club

Pink Dame

I keep seeing 'Candy Club' and I keep saying 'Oh I need that one". lol

Pixie I had it down for the Co-op then dropped it..and heep kicking myself everytime I see it....
Landini decided to make an entrance today

Anastasia

How gorgeous. A friend just gave me that one last night.

Tracey has it too. It's very healthy and hardy in my zone. Wonderful scent. It's my favorite lily. Ah, Goldfinch is another Anastasia fan!

Mine was planted just this year so it's a little behind, but I'm really loking forward to it. Thanks for the teaser. :)

Same here, just planted it this spring and really looking forward to it now!

Now that's one good friend ;) pirl. What a great gift. I'm loving the lily shows.

Here's a few more for today

'Lavender Gem'

'Henry's Surprise' seems to be blooming earlier this year.

'Tigermove' is a real treat. It's all those variations of pink.

'Majesty'

And who would imagine that 'Pup Art' is still blooming?

What a collection you have! Amazing. That 'Lavender Gem' is too good to be true.

Ooooo...love Majesty!!

'Bewitched' I loved that show ;)

'After Eight'

'Baywatch'

'Star Class'

'Lavender Frost'

Thanks for your nice words. Lilies are my favorite and I most certainly enjoy blooming here as well as through all of you.

Most importantly, keep those lilies coming folks.

Star Class is sure a cutie. Not too much new going on but have Late Pink blooming

Mags, does Star Class always have a little pink on it, or is it only with the strange weather we're having this year? Thats a nice one.

Moby, I love Late Pink. About how tall is it?

Late Pink is listed as 4 - 5 ft. tall.

It's a beauty, Moby!

Moby, Tracey, love your pinks! I don't have anything in that delicious raspberry range. Gotta work in that! Tracey, it's so wonderful get the world's most pleasant tutorial on the complete range of lilies. Thank you.

Donna

'Star Class' always has that coloration, it has just held it better this year than most other years.

'Late Pink' is lovely Moby.

Please don't laugh aty my lilies. Yoo much rain and too many slugs and snails this year. They look awful!
Soprano

Yellow Twinkles

Visa Versa

They look pretty darn good to me. :)
