Late Bloomers

A favorite of mine-- Summer's End...

And what would we do without L. speciosums.... I purchased from buggy and also "brand X". I sure can tell the difference that big healthy bulbs make!

Oh, pard, where did you ever get Summer's End'? It's lovely as is Buggy's rubrum.

Summer's End is exclusively from the Lily Garden. Sometimes it is in the society bulb sale. I highly recommend it. It grows better than any other oriental lily I have.

Oh, I just haven't ever seen it or certainly don't recall it. It reminds me a bit of 'Journey's End', and it certainly is a late bloomer. I'm always looking to extend the lily season. Now I know where to look for it.

I also have found Summer's End to be quite fertile. This will produce S. E. cross Lamb's Blood. Won't that be a nice combination? They both face straight out.

Another late blooming oriental is this white no name. It opens pure white, then the pink spots appear as it ages.

Very nice. :) Very nice. :)

That white one is exceptionally cool. :)

I thought so-- like have two lilies in one!

pardalinum I have that one also and would love to know the name it was given to me by a friends mom be for she passed and no one knows the name.

Oh, that crossed with Lamb's Blood would be a nice combo. You have a good eye for these things, pard.

I love these orientals, I wish I was brave enough to buy lots of them, but they don't do very well for me, I have very little shade and even though some of the bulbs do very well, the blooms burn up in our Iowa summer extremes.

L formosum. One of my last.

'Starfighter'

another lost-tag special

this one opens pure white and stays that way but is only about 18" tall with huge flowers.

Wow, thanks for the beautiful late-season show! I especially like your second to last pic (NOID)

As for your post here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=3852339 did you ever buy a Purple Sensation?

Yes!! Boy you are good! Thank you so much....this is it's first year to bloom.

Wow, such beautiful lilies!!!! Very very very nice. ;) Thanks for sharing!

This is an oldie but goodie, but FFO for me, and I'm loving it! White Henryi from Lily Garden

a pleasing thread to view

Blooming for me is LF1, and unregistered hybrid from a place that is no longer selling, Fogbelt Lilies.

Mainiac don't you miss them? Fogbelt is where I bought Rosy Dawn and Mojave many years ago. I was miserable when they closed but got a nice letter from the owner explaning. It seems he had been diagnosed with cancer and felt it more important to use his energy to fight the cancer than to dig bulbs. Can't blame him there but the public really lost a great place to buy bulbs. I'm really thankful my R. Dawn and Mojave are still thriving after all these years.

Yes, such a shame. They had very nice bulbs!

ooh, I like that LF1...

I've forgotten to say how pretty everyone's lilies are! I think I want just about all of them!
