Lilies 2010 - Part 3

Here is my little side garden - even though the lilies are not as prolific as in most years, the daylilies are doing well.

I bet it smells heavenly at your house, Steve.

I love those tall ones.What are they.Your place is really nice.

I have to stake some of mine. BEV

Steve, love your white one whichever it is!

I am still looking for a good red asiaitc. My RED ALERTS are still tiny & have no buds again this year this is year 3. There are soooo out of here. I will get some mature bulbs No more babie bulbs for me.

DESERT SONG...I love this one...such a pretty soft orange.

Steves tall whites look like trumpets.I have something similar Species Regals.I wouldnt be qualified to guarantee my guess.

Thanks ge and polly - it does smell nice - especially at night.

ge, I think it is "American Flame" - got it a few years back and has been really tall and terrific ever since. I did have a couple buds abort however due to the heat :-(. Not the best picture but belo is a closer view from Friday eve.

nanny, I love your "Desert Song". Thanks for the nice words on the white one - I am tending to think it is Gizmo since I planted only three of them (somewhere) and I planted 6 "Hacienda" and these are no others like it in bloom yet. Plus, the LO's bloom before the OT's and my two other confirmed LO's (Long Island and Bright Brilliant) are both in bloom now.

Bev, I have to stake my taller OT's and many of my trumpets as well.

I have used those taller tomatoe cages.

Wow Steve that is such a soft color.Here are my Regals.They were supposed to be Lady Alice but as we know bulbs arent always what they are supposed to be.

and in a row they are over 6 feet and smell great.

geezer moment wrong pic.

any baby bulbs you wanna get rid of, send them to me for a Florida Vacation *S* I'm patient.

Those are very pretty, ge...I have a fe but I don't think mine are that tall. And I noticed you use the same type of stake I do :-)

Zeus (Asiapet)

bonus swallowtail

I just had to measure the Species Regal 77 inches.

Hola Steve! My husband and I were commenting how this June seems to be as hot as a July or August. Even my salvias are wilting badly. ugh!

I think your lily gardens look great. Maybe we'll get lucky and get a cold front that will help lilies. I have a few from last year that I don't see which should be doing well here. Could be this heat.

the heat is unbearable this year...not just for plants..for us too..gotta garden early in the morning, or late evening (then I get to deal with the 'skeeters')

Tiny Sensation

Red Bell -semi-dwarf Oriental - very early bloom for an Oriental.

jmorth, That pic looks like a painting. Very nice. BEV

Geezer moment? GE, you're the best!

BEV, jmorth, Polly, everything looks wonderful! Think I'll go out and see if more has popped so I can share.

I think this is yellow pixie.

Some white shorties.

My favorites.

And some pink.

Steve, very nice daylilies garden.

I love the tiny sensation. very striking.

I just started a new thread, if anyone is interested, for Species lilies 2010.

jmorth, I really like Red Bell - but how did you get an Oriental to bloom so early - even the few I have have are not even close yet, assuming they make it!!

Good to see you Nery - yes it has been horrible and Lili and I were just commenting on "just like July and August" on the peony forum. It is terrible - but then we were having too nice a spring so I guess this has to make up for it! Like you my stuff wilts pretty quicly and I am constantly watering at night when the sun starts to set.

must be in it's genes Steve, last yr it bloomed mid June this yr a week sooner...

How many stems are in that pic of Red Bell? It looks like 1 really loaded stem.

I believe it is but one. A very symmetrical one.

Hope you don't mind my posting The Vamp again but I have to recommend it as a nice sized flower and a truly unfading red with strong stems. It's blowing me away!

Thank you for those who suggested more color!

That is such a gorgeous red ~ yum!
