Lily Lovers, it is time...........

Pixies

Crimsontsavo, yes, unfortunately in this case; I empty it very regularly

Maxine, I'm excited about Honeymoon, I planted it last fall, gorgeous! Does it have much fragrance?

cceamore, pretty good for not knowing their names! LOL Could your lipstick lily be Sorbet? Here's mine.

No It is a lipstick lily(It is very tall and big bloom)if anything I got the lipstick and lollipop backwards, but some of mine I don't know the names like my pixies and some I bought in bulk but I have posted those pics so much I decided not to post them.Also that pink asiactic,I don't know it's name.I just love lilies of all kinds if I could my whole yard would be lilies!

Lovely, pictures, everyone!! I am just drooling here.
:-)

cceamore, ME TOO!!!

Have 2 large beds of lilies now, but looking where to put more??
Wonder how I can pass up lily bulbs if we travel this spring.

Maxine

Kooger,
I loved the two pictures you posted on Jan. 29th with the blue sky in the background. (sigh) Just wish we could have blue sky like that every day.

Aahhh...the contortionist pictures! First year blooming for me so they were rather short. I hate having my hand in the pics so the next best solution is get down to their level. :) I do like the sky background, much prettier than dirt. But if we had blue sky every day, we'd have to water a lot more! lol

I just noticed these this morning and had to show them off. I was very surprised to see them!

Yeah but I would rather water more :-)

lol - good point!

mgh - Waaaaaaaaaaah! just frozen ground here! lucky you!

Lilyfan, you are asking me something that I can't remember!! My memory fits on the end of a common pin head with room left over.

SORRY
Beautiful blossom on the lily thou.

Maxine

Thank You for all the Lily pics everyone--I'm really enjoying them!

I did have them backwards so I change them.

Here is another one.Can you tell I like pink?

Another pretty one, Celeste!

Lovely, you are in good company anahi loves pink also!

Dress Rehearsal - an L.A. Hybrid not pink but still quite lovely to look at.

Celeste, another beauty! And Lillyfan, you're right, "quite lovely to look at."

You know, if a person planned it right, you could perloin Bev's, Sue's and Ron's yards all in one night! (drum, drum, drum, planning, planning, plotting.........)

Hey Laura,
Let me know when you're coming down 'cause I wanna go with you to Bev and Sue's.:-)
Ron

(We'll take 'Sorbet' with us, OK?)

It's a go!

What a beautiful pink picture, Ron!

Thank you Trunnels. I took the picture at our friend Teresa's garden and she identified the lily as "Sorbet". I just love her planting color scheme .
Ron

What is that behind the lily? Looks like dahlia but I've never seen so many blooms!

That is such a beautiful colour - looked at it a couple times already. Definitely feeling a big want coming over me!!

Is it a 'mum behind the lily?

I thought about a mum, too, Kooger. But a lily blooming when mums are in full bloom like that?

Pink aster maybe? I know they normally have yellow centers and look like a daisy, but I ran across this "powderpuff" mix and it sort of looks like that picture.

Okay but don't Asters bloom heavily in the fall, same as mums? But maybe this is a lily that blooms in the fall?

My Wonder of Staffa Aster booms midsummer through frost.

ahhhh, I want some of those.

3 for $12 on Springhill's site. :)

Thanks! I'll check it out.

They do kinda look like those aster pics. Ron must be off hunting down more lilies. That's a guy for you, they run and hide when you need them!! (jk, I'm sorry!)

How bout another PINK lily. My favorite color!!

Name "Chianti Asiatic"

Maxine

Debi,
Punch and wow is right!! Beautiful tanufolium picture!

haven't seen one of these here yet, a white tiger. i just love how the tigers have those 3 black dots at the ends of the buds. cracks me up for some reason. would this qualify me as a crazy lady? debi & franklin

Hey Jamie. Just went to Garden Watchdog for Spring Hill Nursery. They have a pretty poor rating. Did you buy your asters from them?
