Midwest / NJ lilies - reviewed - time for an apology

In our Midwest (and NJ) lily threads I posted a lily I proudly presented as "San Souci" which it was not. For that I am very sorry. Here is the real deal... When san souci bloomed I realized my mistake

Lilium San Souci"

This one was actually "Hit Parade"

This is an "imposter" .. yes you are right.. it is not a lily it is a (* wisper *) "day" lily... it was blooming at the same time, so I took a picture. .. please don't tell anyone that I grow (fake) lilies in the lily beds.. !!

Here is lilium "Massa"

Here is a shocking lily... Orienpet "Shocking"

Here is an unknown lily (have to go through files to see if I can figure this one out).

It could be an LA possibly ?? or even an orienpet (I don't know).

Pretty, eh ??

thanks for sharing these with us all!
BEAUTIFUL :-)

Goodness, Ken, you've led us astray and went off topic?? I am shocked and appalled. ;) Thanks for the correction.

I suppose we can't kick you off the playground ~ you're too valuable and you have all the prettiest marbles!

I would never lead you down the wrong (garden) path. I was just so happy when it flowers that I never gave it a second thought, until the real "McCoy" started to flower at which time I clearly had to eat crow. Funny thing is that Hit Parade is now higher on my list than San Souci.. Strange how that works out.

Here is "golden age" I think... I can not excactly place it.. but if not, then definitely very close in look).

Lilium "Golden Age" (I think)

Here is Asiatic lily "pulsar"

Here is a picture of the unknown Asiatic / LA Hybrid / similar ??

Any takers ??

I think the top one looks just like A. Dawn Blush, but the pollen and tip are much lighter on yours.

LA Showbiz has lighter pollen and tip. Samur? http://www.lilynook.mb.ca/library/library-LA's.htm Now I'm having visions of lilies floating before my eyes....

Good looking Lilies you have there!
yup they are .
Most of mine ( Blush ) got de-tagged by roofers ,
but a few kept there name and pride .
