Beautiful, Anthony.
I do love the spotty ones. That orange is very bright , but dont you have to love the delicacy of the whites with the yellow.
Jean.
Lilies blooming this summer
Ooooh yes, Jean!!!!-but wait til' i flower some of these darker babies...
We're waiting Anthony. They're all beautiful. Colleen
Are those spots bolder than usual,? Anthony....they look big to me.....gorgeous....
Yes, the yellow is very delicate looking....can't wait for your other dark ones, now
Colleen, have you grown any of the liliums from seed?
No Dianne mine are all bulbs. I did grow a couple of different hippies last year so now I have quite a few 1year old seedlings of them. If any of my lilliums have seeds I might give them a try. Colleen
Hopefully, mine will have some seeds this year, so if yours don't, I will send some.
I was nervous of them, when Anthony gave me some...but I found that they are very forgiving.....and grow very quickly....
I couldn't believe it when the hippy seeds germinated for me. I would think that the lillium seeds are similar so hopefully I'll get some. Will let you know Dianne. Thanks for the offer. Colleen
Pretty Pretty flowers ♥

it only looks orange in the middle when it’s in the sunlight, when is in the shade it just looks like a red flower.

Jean, I think that I could be tempted with Tiger Woods.....what about you?
I know it's not a Lilium Anthony, but you like them too...
Gloriosa rothschildiana
Really beautiful flowers everyone.
Dianne, fancy saying I would be tempted by a spotty lilium flower..
You know I have a will of iron...LOL....
I like that 'black heart' flower Anthony.
Jean.
3 similar lilies -Tiger Woods-Dizzy-Wildfire......yes i do like the Gloriosas,but it looks like i'll have no flowers this year
I thought this was another Xmas lily but when I wandered down to have a closer look I realised it isn't white...

Happy New Year!
wonder what 2012 will bring, lovely lilies & no more shakes would be fine by me...
we had another 4.8 aftershock today while I was at work.
rained over night & still cool & showery but despite that & all the quakes over night this lovely lily opened & stood out like a beacon in the garden...
really brought a smile to my face to see such a cheerful yellow
Lovely & bright, Teresa.

Acapulco-also massive blooms
Gorgeous colours, Anthony....good luck at the show.
Regal star
Pretty, pretty.
Anthony, look at this little darling....it's from one of your seeds...
Look at it's little throat whiskers...what are they?
The colour isn't true.....it is exactly the colour of a normal tiger....
I like it's green throat...
Here it is again.
Very pretty , Dianne.
It seems to be a seedling of L. henryi or L. rosthornii. A few years ago I send some seeds to Anthony, L.rosthornii x various trumpets. Could be one of them. Really liked that green throat.
Yes, grapus it would be one of your rosthornii x various trumpets.......Anthony sent me some of those.
Glad that you like it....The throat is a really good distinct green...not wishy washy.
Grapus .!lurking about there,.. like a shark off a Sydney beach[or even a east coast Tassie beach]..He dont miss much!!Man alive Dianne, that looks good,.,.I have -aurelian 'Louise X Tetra white Henryi out,..,thats where ive been, in the garage, moving things/staking and shaping,[people think i get lost in there].,.i still have 2 black beauties that refuse to bloom,..,I have Henryi v Citrinum,Leslie Woodriff, Cam Criterion, Starfighter, Acapulco,Lombardia,Starburst Sensation,Aktiva,Trumpets,.,.Oh man, this is stressing,, I'll start bottling tomorrow night..excuse me for not taking any recent pics, but i will get a heap of them after judging on Saturday.. I think i have 1 ace,Maybe 2... and with a entry 5 minutes b4 cut off, maybe 3,.,.but you need 4 aces for a winning hand,,so i might fire in a prize dahlia as well,.,.I ve never taken so many phone calls on my poor old mobile as i have this week,, and i had an enquiry from the Glenorchy Gazette manager, can i contact him regarding a follow up to the show story,.,.? whats the friggin point,,,its not going to help us 1 iota..The damage has already been done,.--Anthony
