July Lilies

voss ~ a virus can come along at any time. That why it's important to control sucking / chewing insects in your garden.

Thanks for the tip Moby

I have one at just about 5 feet and one a little over that. I am 5 feet tall and it is a bit taller than me.

Black Beauty and Pardelium

Some lilies for today.

Cherbourg

El Flame

Lilium columbianum

Lodewick

Anastasia. I think

Big Brother. I took picture far away to try & show the huge size.

Sarabande

Stargazer

Bonbini

Cheops

So how much of Agawam do you own, Debbie???? LOL! I think you've about covered it all w/lillies! Can't think of anything prettier^_^

dlefferts, did you notice in the background of your Sarabande pic, there is an outline of Sarabande again with its normal aspect? Excellent photo design!

Your "Lilium columbianum" has really cool spotting, with the size of the spots diminishing as they go toward the center. A most pleasing effect. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/fp.php?pid=7971296
But...
It's not columbianum, as the species is a downfacing and strongly recurved lily. Leaves are arranged in whorls, too. Yours looks to be an asiatic lily, with leaves scattered about the stem?

dlefferts, it seems like I am picking on you, LOL!
Thanks for being a good sport.

Casa Blanca w/ Ipomopsis

mass of Black Beauty

another shot of Bolero
I've only got 2 lilies left to bloom.

dlefferts: Love that shot of the bed with Big Brother. What's the blue (non-lily!) in the right rear?

Wonderful photos, everyone, and great lilies.

Love that Casa Blanca with the Ipomopsis, Jack: terrific color harmony there.

jmorth, I vote for casa blanca w/ ipomopsis, too.
dlefferts, love el Flame.

Beautiful!!!

I am done here I guess. American Debutante seem to have not shown up which is a total bummer. Susan was so nice to send it to me last fall. I was really looking forward to it. :(

jmorth- Your stand of Bolero is gorgeous!

I love every single lily on this thread.

Nanny, don't give up on that Lily, Lilies are notorious for occasionally taking a year off, especially newly planted bulbs. Somehow they manage to grow underground, and often show back up vigorously the next year. I haven't had it happen a lot, but from time to time over the years. 3 of the 4 Japanese hybrid OTs I planted a couple of years ago didn't show up the first year, but all showed up the next year as if they hadn't missed a thing.

Oh that sure would be nice.....my Henry's Surprise is up but doesn't look like it is going to bloom this year...no buds.

Crystal Blanca, which is basically a shorter Casablanca with a stronger stem. I love having both.

Anastasia with grasses and alliums. 95 degrees here!

Thats good to know Neal.I wont replace lilies that take a year off.

JoAnn, one time I even had it happen with some 2nd year Lilies. The first year I planted 'Shocking' they bloomed normally, the next year, not one of the 3 bulbs showed up- I figured voles had eaten the bulbs. But year 3 they showed back up, taller and with more blooms than the first year.

I love that lily.I hasnt taken a time out for me but other varieties have.
My Shockings this year are nearly seven feet.

Tallest Shocking lily almost 7 feet.

I've had that happen quite often, Jo Ann. Just nothing at all the year after I fall planted them, and then the next year there they are.

Is that lily called "Shoking" ?...it is a beauty !!!!

My picture is "ALBANY " 72 inches tall,picture taken yesterday.

Oh drats! What was supposed to be Arena opened today, and I think it's Stargazer or similar. I had to wait 2 years for this. No pic. It was too hot to go back upstairs for the camera.

How disappointing, especially after a two year wait.

This is pretty enough but certainly not Crystal Star.

Even the bees enjoyed this one.

Arabesque is a delight. I'm so glad I bought six of them.
