Another Lily Coop?

Inanda, this is just a thought--but I remember reading on DG that if it's too late to plant the lily bulbs in the ground you could over-winter them in your garage or patio. I can't remember the details or where the thread was. Does someone else remember???

Maxine asked me if I would post this picture of black jack so everyone could see it. She knew there had been some discussion of it earlier

Aknapp,
Where did you get your Black Jack lily? I would like to order some.
Thanks,Patti

Black Jack is actually maxines, I just posted the picture for her, but I think they camr from the coop earlier this year.
I am pretty sure I saw them in the Lily Nook Online catalogue
Maxine where are you?????

And available here:

I am so sorry, lily nook, lily garden obviously my brain is not functioning too well!!!
Sorry Brenda

Whose does?? LOL Had to stop and double think myself!

I purchased the lily bulbs called "Black Jack" last fall. They did fantastic for their first yr. blooms.
Very satisfied with the color. Red normally isn't my color as I prefer pinks, shades of pink and yellow and white and white/yellow like "Gold Band" oriental.

Hope this clears up the mystery!!

Maxine

Nah, Maxine. The BIG mystery is will they be offered in co-op?? LOL. I'm glad for your report, tho. I bought some asiatics from a mail order company about 4 years ago. Their first 3 years of blooming, they were all the exact same color. Onlu this past year did they bloom as what they were presented in the catalog.

I don't know if it was something I did or what, but I was upset to say the least. Happy now, tho. As long as they continue to be different!

I did notice on the Lily Garden website that BlackJack was listed as "Order now for Spring planting". I don't know if that means the ad was from the spring or what. Anyone know, by chance?

Thanks Maxine, Aknapp, and Moby for the info on the Black Jack Lilies. Rose318/ Patti

I noticed that too, and wondered about it. I would assume it is not supposed to be planted until spring! All though that makes no sense either. Guess we had better find out about that, if it is offered in the coop.

count me in!

Alice - was looking at lilies on other threads and I think it's the Marco Polo Oriental that you were drolling over. Enjoy!!

Here's another shot of Black Jack....an absolutely beautiful, almost velvet black lily....my favorite!

Kooger and Alice I can see why you both were drooling over Marco Polo . It"s beautiful.
Patti

Oh, tyke. That BlackJack is gorgeous! I've just gotta have a few!!!!

Hi all! Back from my weekend trip. Very nice to get out of town a few days and got to meet my 2-month old nephew and my 1-1/2 yr old neice for the first time! Good trip indeed.

Black Jack will be offered in the coop and can be planted spring or fall as all lily bulbs can. The coop starts tomorrow so watch the Coop forum for it to open. I'll have to post a 2nd post with all the details (pricing etc), so hopefully I get to the new thread before everyone else starts asking questions! LOL!

very cool Brenda, I promise I will not post anything until you have had a chance to get everything done!!!!haha

But work fast!!!hah

Glad you had a good trip and a very nice week-end!!!! I know you deserved it!!!!

Thanks, Brenda. Can't wait!

brenda, nice to hear that you had a fine weekend with your families together. sharing time with those we care about is the best.

to the above about the statement "order for spring planting" usually means that you can order it now, but it won't be available to be shipped to you until the spring.
in the lily garden catalogue, the lilies that they have hybridized and grow definitely have a " (CP) " next to the name. this means it is a columbia-platte, or there trademark. all other lilies may or may not be grown by them directly at there farm, but they do sell them in there catalogue, like a lot of other catalogues do too. thus i would assume that they have placed there order and it has been confirmed for the spring of 2005.
hope this helps.
happy lily gardening.

Oooooh, Brenda! Thank you for the BlackJacks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Actually, Debi, Catherine at The LIily Garden indicated that they were in the process of updating their website with their Fall 2004 info (paper catalog is already out). So I think the Spring Planting is old and relates to Spring 2004.

(I just checked at their site has been updated since last Thursday when I last heard from them).

Brenda

Oh, my gosh, Brenda. I don't know how you are going to choose what to offer in the co-op. EVERYTHING is just gorgeous. Hopefully you will pick things from different bloom times so we can spread out the peak blooms. Thanks, again, for taking on this huge project.
Terrie

Y'all just had to post that picture of blackjack didn't ya? Now I think I've gotta have it too. I'll be waiting for the post and hoping that they don't all sell out before I get there.

Thank you for doing this for us again.

The coop is now open.

Too cool!

I'm off to see the lilies... the wonderful lilies of oz.

I'm outta control, I can't PICK!! They have the best selection!

Ok - you talked me into a subscription. I couldn't resist a Lily Coop w/the Lily Garden. It was worth the $15. Now if I could only figure out how to use this site? Anyone want to be a volunteer to initiate me and give me the details on how a coop works?
Here's my original message to langbr:

Ok - I read the other post, so now I know how the coop works...but who do I send a check to if I want to pay by check? Forgive the DG newbie please!

Mina -

WELCOME!!! You're gonna have so much fun on DG!! Glad you made the jump.

Just post your order in the Coop thread for the Lily coop. You'll kind of see how it's done by reading the other member's posts in that thread (click the link below to go directly to the coop thread). I will then email you with order totals and payment instructions.
