What ever yours is, I love them. Great clump.

Maxine, Is this one of those trick photos where you try and figure out what's different between the two? Both pics look the same to me.

That Rosepoint Lace is beautiful. You guys have me drooling! I sure hope someone does a BIG Lily Co-Op this fall!

Wanda, mine are just starting to open. I have mostly Asiatics and Orientals and I'm just now getting it the LA, Orienpets, etc. I really need to win the lotto so I can stay home and garden till all the money would be gone. :) LOL What I really need to do is to hire someone to help me in the gardens. Maybe some day..

Diann

I need to win the lotto, Diann, so that I can have more than just a 20 ft. balcony to garden in! I need acres and acres, and of course, somebody to help with the weeding - lol.

Ya know, I actually enjoy weeding, it's very relaxing for me. But when I'm faced with a couple thousand square feet of weeding, it tends to make me a bit anxious. This weekend I will make it to the hosta beds!!!

Diann

Lets try again. My daughter who is much smarter than me at these computers helped me with my pictures this morning.
Yes, it was the same picture posted once before.
Don't know if its no brains or OLD AGE??

I love that bit of yellow in the bloom ~ it makes it a rich color.

Here is a new OT for me this year, Zagora. It's the softest butter yellow with a rose blush.

Yummy! It's very nice. :) I was out on Lily Nook drooling over lilies... I need to get planted what I have...

Diann

Ok this is my second lily to bloom but I dont know what it is, any suggestions?


Thank you,
intercessor

Different view...

The red are the Monte Negro the white are White Tigers

the last for now is Ginza, I really like this one

WOOOH! Very pretty, can't wait for mine to get going!

Wow Puddles....you've been holding out on us! Can't wait to see what else you have in store. :)

Yeah Puddles, what Moby said!! You've given us a peek now we want to see more!!!

I have new ones blooming, but haven't had time to take any pictures yet. I was mowing lawn tonight, started about 6 pm and quit at 9 pm, but I got it mowed. Good thing my husband mowed the east pasture, veggie garden and east yard yesterday or I wouldn't be done yet...

Anyone use Messenger on their lilies?

Diann

PS Oh yeah, as a reward for mowing all night and not playing in the gardens one stinking little bit, I'm eating the rest of my Ben and Jerry's Karamel Sutra. Yummm. :)

Maxine - The Martagon looks like it may be Dalhansoni.

Good for you Ticker ~ you've earned it.

Gorgeous lilies Puddle! I think I NEED to get some of the Vermeer!!

Ticker, I have used Messenger on my lilies twice so far this year. I can really see the results in everything I have used it one.......things just take-off and grow like crazy! I'm going to try Mighty Plant next time I spray.

What happens with the messenger? Are the flowers bigger? The stems taller? What? Also, where do you get this stuff?

There is a co-op for it right now.....I'm not sure when it closes.

I have noticed that all my plants are bigger than I they have ever been and they are blooming much more profusely. I spray it on my roses and haven't had as much blackspot as normal either. I love the stuff!

intercessor, I had one like that a few years ago. I didn't know the variety either. I got it from one of those cheapo catalogs, they said it was Black Beauty - LOL!

I've used Messenger this summer too. It has made everything larger than expected, no diseases, no pests. Here's everything on May 26th.

Here's everything yesterday. See what you think.

WOW! Looks wonderful!

revclaus, your balconey is wonderful. You have so much color in so little space. I use Messenger too and think it has helped.

Admirable collection of containers and plants.

Orange martagon identity, please.

thanks, Maxine

This lily is called "Dani Arifin LA"
Purchased at "Funkys Gardens" Prescott, Wi.

Maxine

Dani has a sweet looking flower.

Maxine - It might be Nepera

Ok, somebody stop me, I've been looking at the Lily Nook's catalog and there are several I'm drooling over...... I need to behave. I need to get in the ground what I have already.

Oh yeah, it's supposed to rain tomorrow....

Diann

Ticker, I love the Lily Nook, but the shipping and health certificate are killers. I figured out that you need to buy at least 100.00 worth of bulbs to break even, so plan accordingly or find someone to go in on these with you. I can spend 100.00 in a heartbeat, but I try to limit myself to one order a year.

Oh, the reason why you break even is because the price on the bulbs is Canadian, so in US dollars you're paying less that the listed price.

Beaker, yeah, I noticed that. :) I also noticed that they had bulk sales going on on several of their lilies... I really need to behave, tho..
