Alcapulco

Aubade

Bizet

Group shot of Chambertin, Acapulco and Conca d' Oro

I don't know what this is, I didn't purchase it knowingly. Maybe Double Prize? Anyone have an idea what it might be?

Flora Plena - Hope it looks better next year, kind of ugly.

Giraffe - Very Tall Asiatic

Lighthouse

Menorca

Rodin

Another one I'm not sure about. Perhaps Serendipity?

Not happy with this one and was really looking forward to it. It was suppose to be a neon orange.

Swansea

Wow!!! Beaker your lilies are just wonderful!!! It was raining here tonight so I didn't wander about. How many lilies do you have? (I know I probably asked that before, so forgive my aged brain if I have). Your show just never stops. I like it!!! ;)

Diann

and last, Tom Pulce

So beautiful. :)

A few hundred, not all picture worthy. Sphinx opened this week and is ugly as sin. That's the way I felt about Fata Morgana the first year and now it puts out beautiful blooms. I laways give the ugly ones at least a year to improve.

We had a little rain about noon today and we really needed it. Not much though. Just enough to make it muggy out. I ran into a great sale yesterday on geraniums. Heading over to that forum now to post more pics.

Ah, the true garden addict, can't pass up a sale. :) I've had to stay away from the Co-op forum or my husband may throw me out with the cats. I do not have hundreds, but I'm definitely increasing my lilies later this year. ;) Keep the pictures coming! ;)

I planted a mixed assortment of un named lilies in my rose garden last fall - here's the first bloomer. Such a problem this year with groundhogs and voles - debating whether to take the plunge (after seeing all of the gorgeous blooms in this thread) and splurge on new lilies this fall.

Catherine

Beauty Rose

Scheherazade

Stargazer

Dwarf white Oriental.

Here's where Beauty Rose and Scheherazade sit in the garden. These two came from Buggycrazy.

Orienpet 'Robert Swanson'

beaker, mine looks like one of your unidentified orienpets...

Oriental 'Muscadet'. It's huge! And very fragrant!

In this weather, the blooms are not lasting long. Here's Rodolfo

Famosa

and Bizet in full bloom. I've decided I really like this one. The color has a dusky look to it.

'Sweetheart' is well-named... the whole garden is perfumed by Orienpets right now.
Don

Although named 'Red Hot', to me this Orienpet is subtle pink, and smells as heavenly as it looks.

Orania, another Orienpet, is almost 8 feet tall this year, with fourteen huge flowers.

Henryi -

Lady Alice -

some Asiatic, very tall - although this pic has a stem at ground level in a bed of dianthes...

Aubade -

beaker_ch ~ Your photo on July 11th 10:56pm, the pink one your not sure of...it looks something like my "Elodie", a double asiatic. Here is a few pics of mine.

Wow Don. That clump of 'Sweetheart' is fantastic!

I never posted any of my LA lilies because they pretty much looked like what others had posted.

Finally had this lily open.

Muscadet

Don't you just love it when a really nice lily opens up and smiles at you? ;) Very nice. :)

Diann

Thanks, Diane,

I have been starting to shop for more lilies. Have to be very careful to pick and choose as I haven't much room.

Is the Casa Blanca the only one that can tolerate shade?


And . . . hey! . . . Lincolnitis! What does B& D stand for?

Thanks,

Arlene
