First Lilies Part II

Ooooh, I want the pink Oriental lily! ^_^

An OT I have not figured out the name of, yet...

That pink Oriental looks like I must include it with my order. Mike

Steve, Love that yellow Oriental! Gorgeous!

LOL OK Steve, now you're going to have to come up with a name for all these people.

Steve, that is such a "pure" yellow on your OT - love it!

This morning, I've several lilies opened. Who could help I.D. this one please? I've some Regales lilies last year Steve, I moved them at the end of the season, and they have yet to clue me in whether they're going to bloom this year or not.

A lily I bought potted at Walmart.

Walmart's and other box stores do carry some beautiful lilies. This is Muscadet that I found this early spring.

Nice! Is your pink one a shortie? It could be Denia ~ or what's the other name it goes by....Pink Pixie?

'Pink Pixie' is right, Moby.

muscadet is lovely. mine have buds and they like houston (richmond), woohoo!

Wow, Muscadet can take on zone 9? I'm in for a treat! The leaves are thick ovate and dark, lustrously green. They're by themselves worth having in the garden year round. :-)

it remains to be seen if it will dwindle in the upcoming years, but this is year 2 or 3, and so far, so good.

I have one open!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Purple Reign 1a

That's stunning! Purple Reign 1a, there are 1b, c, ect.? I've got to buy new land to plant lilies. lol.

Yes, the letters in this case refer to the orientation of the bloom, a = upfacing, b = outfacing, and c = downfacing. The letters can mean other things in other divisions, sometimes I get totally confused, but have been trying to label all my asiatics with their orientation. I tagged that on out of habit. ^_^

Thanks lilyfan, I'll make a note of those helpful info.

hi guys! i am gone for a couple of days and you guys exploded with color!! here are a few of mine that just opened. one flower last exactly one day! :( it was the only flower on the stalk and it shatted. of course one of my cats may have run it over. or the neighbors stupid lab puppy that is always chasing my cats through my beds! aaarg!!! oh, btw, this one was supposed to be Pup Art, imagine my suprise when it bloomed an orange tiger, didnt even order any tigers.

This orange asiatic lily is nice enough. I think I'll keep it. :-). Aggiegrl, nice collection. I love each and every of them.
Kim

Lovely pictures folks!! Keep them coming!

Nice pics, everyone.

Sue ~ I can't believe you have lilies open! It'll probably be a couple weeks for me.

I was shocked myself.....when I looked at them before heading to St. Louis I could see nothing that looked even remotely close to opening!

Thanks you guys. I am happy to see that even the nrthern DG'ers are finally joing the lily fray in numbers. I really like your purple and white Asiatic, Ililyfan. Congrats on your first bloom!

I love your Asiatic potted lily, mattsmom :-) I like the color combination.

Lilylove, your bloomtime is similar to mine. My Regales are blooming now and actually most of them are finished. Post yours if it does anything this year! Love the Muscadet.

aggie, you're still having a lot of strong bloom from your Asiatics!

These might be Crimson Pixie. Colony seems to expand yearly. In the past it's bloomed earlier than this year.

well, i would have had a few new pics to share today, but woke up to a monsoon this morning! not that i am complaining, we needed the rain badly! however, when i went outside to check them at noon, most of my lilies were gone, shattered or the petals look like they were made of paper!

Sorry about the mishap Tracie, thus far your collection has provided lots of joy to admirers like myself. Chin up, there will be next flush of blooms hopefully.

Here are some Yellow Tiger Lilies....we're needing some rain here, lots of thunderstorm in the region, but not a drop of rain, we'll just have to wait it out.

I love this thread and love lilies. But DH had open-heart surgery three weeks ago and I haven't had time to take pictures (or upload them if I manage to snap any). But I have some Corrida asiatics that have just opened and they really are lovely. Will try to post soon.

Georgia- Sure hope your DH is doing well. Sorry to hear about that.

Those are nice Tigers, Kim - I like the way they're "framed" by the trees.

I wish the best and a speedy recovery to your husband, Jo - and the best to you.

I'll keep you both in my thoughts ~

Ga.Jo, best wishes for your DH speedy recovery. Hang in there, things should get better soon.

Ga. Jo, the lilies can wait. We just want your husband to have a speedy and full recovery.

Ga. Jo, prayers for your husband.First things first.Mike

NOID with quite large flowers
