This oriental is called 'White Bud' from Buggycrazy. I really like it

Another oriental from Buggycrazy, 'Beauty Rose'

One of my latest asiatics still blooming. I believe it is 'Alexis'

Not sure which division 'Louise' is in for sure, but that doesn't detract from her beauty at all.

This is 'Louis XIV'. Even though the main stems got frozen these youngsters are showing their stuff.

How am I doin' Ticker?

Very nice! That White Bud is really sharp.

I think 'White Bud' is the one pard called 'One Bud last year'. Do you have more than 1 bud, llilyfan? :0)

ha ha ha ha

OK I went out and checked and found that one bud had divided into 3 stalks with 2 buds on each. To be fair, I do have it growing in the winter swamp area...

I'll have to go count 'White Bud' in the morning, but I'll guess there are about a dozen buds on each stem.

Some of these have finished blooming but I don't think I've seen them posted.

I think this is Alicia, I love this one!

I finally get to post some lilies! Here are a few of mine. The first is Black Beauty. This is a first bloom for me and I LOVE it!

Here is Garden Party. Another first bloom for me.

Some Stargazers.

Yay Sherrygirl, glad you could finally join the fun! Any more?

While we wait for more here is another of mine, 'Beverly Ann'

Iowann are you out there? That one is for you!

llilyfan,
You have some beauties, for sure! Here is Muscadet.

I love your White Bud and Louise. Very nice!
Here is Tom Pouce.

Pollyanna

Looks just like my Tom Pouce!

'Mimosa' another oriental from Buggy

Triumphator
'from Wallyworld' LOL
Sherry

'Beauty Rose' is listed as an orienpet hybridized by Columbia Platte pre 1996

I've tried for years to get Triumphator, maybe I should go to Wallyworld!

'Serena Green' a trumpet has been done blooming for a bit.

'OR' a Cocker lily that doesn't seem to be registered

'Fuchsia Lady' which I had confused with 'Ariadne' for awhile.

Oh, I like Fuchsia Lady!
P.S. My 'White Bud' had 8 buds. I couldn't resist trying it out. I remember thinking long and hard about that one because of pard's 'one bud', but took a chance.
Keep those lilies coming you guys. I do really enjoy them.

Wow! That 'OR' is awesome!
Sherry

Is this a White Bud? It came up in an area marked as either Starfighter a/o White Bud. I do remember planting a bulb from BuggyCrazy in that vicinity.

The pollen isn't the same color as my White Bud, other than that there isn't much difference at all.

Actually, my pollen color fits Starfighters registered description pretty close!

Does Buggy have pictures up yet?

This is 'Mint Fudge' who is getting ready to open blooms on another stem that came up about a month after the others! What a weird spring

How about 'Red Galaxy'

This is an unknown in with Lady Alice, likes to lean!

Sherrygirl, I just planted that 'OR' last fall and it was a big strong stem with a ton of blooms even after the spring we had!

Here is another pic of my unknown. You can see she doesn't have the papillea that 'Louise' has.

I'm a Buggy addict (now admittedly so). She seems to be adding a few new ones every few days. I'm sure the the next week or so will be quite busy, with all she has to do out in the field, plus the website.

This was my first spring/summer with her bulbs, it was not a good year to form final judgements............so I will most likely have to buy again :-)

Here is what my 'Lady Alice' looked like earlier this month.

Keep going, Lilyfan!! Those are fantastic! Sherrygirl, your lilies are wow worthy, too! :) I was out weeding my mother-in-laws gardens all day yesterday and haven't logged in since Friday night! What a nice surprise!

Keep them coming! :)

These are so gorgeous! How does Beauty Rose differ from Black Beauty, I wonder? Is it the color? And I have another question -- is there a down-side to Buggy's gigantic bulbs? I got some speciosums from her last fall, and the white ones have two stalks each of over 5', with between 20 and 30 buds per stalk. It seems downright unnatural. Not that I'm complaining. And of course I'm checking her site every day for updates. But if you plant bulbs that have already reached their maximum, fully mature size, what next?

The downside? I practically had to use dymamite to get a hole deep enough to plant one of her monster bulbs. And sometimes I'm afraid I'll get busted by the lily police for steroid use. LOL

Then there is the 'buggycrazy addiction' to worry about, not that you could overdose and die from it but your pocketbook might.

What next? Here is a buggy whopper I purchased in fall 2005, first bloom summer '06 with 2 stalks. Summer '07, 4 stalks. Downside? You will have to go in and divide it sooner rather than later. Upside? They put on a spectacular show with many buds. The bigger the bulb the more food is there to feed the lily growth. But there is nothing wrong with four $5 bulbs. You can spread those around. It just depends on what kind of show you want.
