Lilies 2010

serrada clump

regular Easter lily. This is one I found almost dead in the middle of the street. I can't even imagine how somebody just threw it out right then and there. The litterbugs' loss was my gain. very fragrant. I don't know if this is the short one or if it is stunted for some reason. You can't see its height but it's about 12", a little flopped over from yesterday's torrents. This is its third season in my garden, so far the prettiest show

Ivory Pixie, also rain beaten

They look so sad when wet

In my perfect world, it does not rain on peonies, lilies or dahlias. The lilies are the only ones with any resiliency.

Can I live there too?

In my perfect world it does not hit 90 F in May!!!

:-(

dmorth, congrats on such an early lily bloom - you are always so far ahead of the rest in your zone!

Nery, love the Brunello and the Serrada clump is spectacular. I love yellow and orange too. My newly planted (fall) LA's are blooming but all I have in bloom among the established lilies at this point are Asiatic "London" which always seems to be first.

Getting some serious buds on some now!!

Amen, Steve about what would be a perfect world, no 90s in may. This evening I walked past a lily that was so delicious smelling, I couldn't believe my nose. However, the FF is not very pretty. I will wait for a better bloom b4 I show off.

zone envy

more zone envy. It would be nice if our summer growing season lasted 4-6 weeks longer.

This maybe my very first 'Cancun' (?) for the season. 2nd after 'Lolipops' to bloom here in the South.

Gorgeous flower and fantastic photo.

Thanks pirl, hello to all. pirl how is your growing season coming along?

Lots of lilies but no flowers yet though the Siberian irises are blooming now and the Alliums that look so nice with the Columbines.

Down here, we're a tad earlier in the growing season. Clematis are cooling down, as Lilies and Hydrangeas begun to burst forth! Love your Columbines among the Alliums blooms.

Lovely setting. :)

Thank Moby, I'm looking forward to seeing your lilies this season.

Lily_love...Gorgeous pic! I love the pics that are so perfect they don't look real.

Our clematis are still going strong as we wait for the lilies. Omoshiro is, by far, my favorite.

Wow ~ it looks so delicate! You ought to put that pic in the PF.

Thats a beautiful Clem Pirl

Well I got home from work this morning to find this beauty staring at me as I got down from the car and walk up the driveway. I think that this is my favorite lily soo far. Will take pictures again once it's fully opened.

Awwww! 'Silk Road' I'd make that my fav. too. How beautiful!

And here is a side view. I just love the fringe of purple on the pollinia

sweeeeet

Thanks, Moby and Jo Ann. I have some Omoshiro already in Plant Files but just might add it.

Roly - lovely lily.

Wow, Roly, that's spectacular!

I have been meaning to comment that Omoshiro is divine, and the pic of the allium and columbine is perfection. I'm gonna start a thread on color echoes, be sure and post that one there.

OK, I know this is tacky, but I was so impressed with this little lily that I had to post its FFO, even if it't been horribly munched on. I got this thru the PNWLS sale this spring and I am so happy I did. Other and better blooms should appear tomorrow. I just wanted to share how unusual it is, ugly and all. Oh, it's name is Tiny Padhye

Dazzle, making its third year appearance. This is the very first one to open.

Right next to my Dazzles I planted Nashville, which is so close in shade of yellow, almost indistinguishable, were it not for the freckles on Dazzle. This were from the Sunshine Bulb Company. A coop was done w/ this co but I purchased direct. Also got White Triumphator, which I think is coming up.

More Nashvilles with my one of my fave roses Carefree Sunshine.

I think this is Garden Party

Poor Tiny Padhue. Is it a bug that munches on it?

Beautiful lilies, Nery.

here are some more Nashvilles with rosa Home Run, shasta Becky and glamini Tom. Lilium Red Dutch should be coming out to play pretty soon

Nice lilies, even poor Tiny Padhe. and your other garden pretties are nice too. Good thing we have you southerners around here to keep us content until our season gets into full swing.

Beautiful Vossner.
I will look into Glade for next year. I was never over the top about them because my grandmother planted them in rows(boreing) They always flopped ,.Maybe I'll look for a shorther variety.

The Glaminis are really nice. Short ones. I put some in Jennas cutting garden along with some tall ones I got from Ednie. Now I need to get some Babys Breath.

Wonderful lilies you've posted Nery, Roly! And Nery i love the red glads. I have some that keep coming back every year but like ge mine tend to flop/fall over and look ratty so I have not planted many of them. Yours look terrific. I will also have to seek outshorter varieties.

I have lots of "London" in front blooming and LA's are just starting to open. This pic is from a couple days ago.
