Lilies decided to bloom

I had given up on them blooming this year but this week they started growing like crazy, and boy they a lovely, these are Oriental Tom Pouce

What a wonderful surprise Kareoke! It's been three months since our Tom Pouce put on it's show here in our Iowa garden. Thank you so much for sharing your delicious news! We can almost smell them all the way out here, can't we Kooger? :-)

kareoke,
Just beautiful! Just starting to get into lilies and this 'Tom Pouce' is one of the ones I really want. It looks so beautiful in the pictures. Is it as nice as it looks in the pictures? How about a close up?
Sherry

Well, that's a fun surprise this late in the year! And your garden is so pretty too.

Sherrygirl here is a close up, and they are beautifull

what a great costco find for me. the plants are over 3' tall and the blooms are 9" in diameter. i went to costco yesterday to see what they have, but none so far, lilies-wise.

thank you for sharing your photos.

How nice to have lilies in Oct!

kareoke,
I agree! They are most definitely beautiful! I will be getting some for sure. ;o) Can lilies be planted now? Will it be a problem to plant now if there is a chance of frost in the near future? Or should I wait til spring?
Sherry

Sherrygirl, I have no idea. I am new to lillies but I intend on getting lots more. these are still blooming and our temps. have been in the 40 and 50s the last two weeks

Sherry, no need to worry about frost as you can plant lilies as long as your ground isn't frozen.

You can also plant lilies in the Spring and they will bloom that summer.

Moby,
Thanks for the info. Any good places online to order nice ones at good prices?
Sherry

Great places for great lilies? Oh yeah ~ right up in your neck of the woods, too!

Order soon ~ They are getting toward the end of the fall shipping season, but there is still a very good selection. They will sell again in the Spring too. Happy shopping!
