Lilies 2010

Which is a part of the arrangement I made over the weekend with other lilies, callas, and gladiolas.

tango Halloween

flock of Beauty Rose

NOID (Stargazer/Starfighter like)

Pardalinum

Sensation (I think from Faraway Flowers)- enormous bloom.

Terrific colors and beautiful lilies: what a nice way to start another hot day.

Wonderful Lily show everyone! Love those group shots Donna and jmorth!

Pirl, I'm concerned that the one you posted here:

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7942964

...may be virused? Did any of the other blooms show that color streaking? With most Lilies its fairly easy to tell, but I find OTs difficult sometimes- some have color streaking naturally.

Neal - I'll go check it and take photos of the foliage and check on the color streaking. Thanks for the tip.

Here is Arabian Red.

Maywood.

What a wonderful way to begin a morning...browsing all your wonderful blooms:)) Babette, here is Rio Negro that I got from you. Man, has it made me happy!

It would help if I got the pic posted wouldn't it?!

Salmon Star

tggfisk,your lily are so pretty.do you trade them?

Thanks! I haven't yet, but may be tempted at some point. Both of these posted are first year, so they would not be ready at this time.

Bev,

The Rio Negro looks stunning!
Now you have me soOOOooo anxious to see mine! LOL.
Thanks for posting the blooms! :)

Leftwood, I appreciate the help. I didn't take it as scolding at all. I want to get my lilies right. I will go back & correct my listing. I figured it out it isn't Arena, it is Lovely Girl

Pirl, don't you just love Maywood! The bloom shape is so elegant, and I love the touch of green showing in the center. Mine were deeper pink last year due to a cool summer, but I'm still very much enjoying their pastel hues in this years heat. They've more than doubled in height and bloom count in their 2nd year.

rio negro

This is 'Time Zone', an OT, and a real winner!

Dori, your Rio Negro is gorgeous! And your pic, like those in Plantfiles, makes me think mine may have been mislabeled. The color looks right, but the shape is different.

Yes, Neal, I do love Maywood and thanks for mentioning the variations in color since some are very light pink and others appear white. Even in profile they are delightful.

You have a gorgeous display of them!

The OTs have been amazing this year. These are 'Veranda', 'Tarragona', and 'Hacienda' (Hacienda is the white one), from Faraway Flowers.

Debbie - you have me anxious now to see my Lovely Girl.

Lovely Rio Negro! I have 13 of them and I'm anxiously awaiting first blooms on them.

Neal - these Maywoods almost looks pale green.

Wow! Your triple play of OT's is stunning.

Ooohhh, what a striking photo! It really shows off that porcelain quality they have! We had cooler weather when the 2nd wave of blooms started opening on Maywood, and those blooms were a deeper pink. Now its back to temps in the mid 90s. The latest blooms to open have only displayed the lightest blush of pink.

This is one of my favorite OTs, 'American Journey'. I believe its the "red-est" Lily I have.

Neal - fabulous color harmony with the yellow in the lily, which is great, and all the flowers in the background. Should be a magazine cover.

It's pretty to see pink, blush, and creamy green blooms all on the same stem! Ramona (Faraway) carries some glorious OTs, I think I just told her I wanted one of each of her yellows and whites, for a custom mix. The tallest reached 7' this year!

Seems a lot of the pink OTs are temperature sensitive when it comes to depth of color, but this one is richly colored regardless of temperatures. It's 'Robina', and has completely won me over! The white star in the center makes it extra striking to me.

Thanks, Pirl, 'American Journey' is very photogenic indeed! I moved them to my bed of salsa colors this spring, and am really happy with the results. This fall 'Shocking' and another of the American series I can't recall the name of (that looks very similar to Shocking) are going to join American Journey in the salsa bed.

This is 'Montego Bay'

'Bon Bini'

'Lavon', an OT, as is 'Bon bini' above.

OT, 'American West'

I believe this Oriental is 'Acapulco'

OT, 'Zagorra'

OT, 'Candy Club'

This is 'Belladonna', the deepest yellow OT I've yet grown. It is a nice height for the garden too, about 3'. I love the perfect shape of the blooms.

'Boogie Woogie', an OT that exhibits a pink blush in cooler weather, but is solid ivory this year in the heat. Seems a lot of folks are disappointed with it because of this, but I rather like it with or without the pink blush :-)

Oriental, 'Sorbonne'

OT, 'Leslie Woodriff'

'Leslie Woodriff' again, in the morning sun.
