TITE RED is starting to open this morning.

Teresa-Something I have found that is nice is one called 'After Eight', very 'Stargazer' like, but shorter and does well in containers or in front of a border, if the 'Stargazer' look is what you are after. Other great container/shorter ones are 'Salmon Star' or 'Angelique'.

New yesterday. My garden placement map indicates this should be 'Golden Torch' which I may have inadvertently assigned to 'Neon Gold' . Then again I see no gold here.

The lily that may have been assigned wrong name. Either name fits this specimen, 'Golden Torch' or 'Neon Gold'.

Lovely, just lovely. :)

Sure do love that green one (the first one you posted) And, of course, the others are beautiful too.

So pretty. I am going to have to look for Arctic Ice. White lilies are my favorites.
This bright fellow is Loreto.

Black Jack is co-operating this year and blooming at the same time as Loreto.

First 2 blooms on Latvia.

If you like whites, 'Tiny Nanny' packs a good punch. It's a good border lily and has many blooms per stem in my own personal garden trial ^_^

Lovely, just lovely, keep them coming! I'm off to weed now..

Cecil has huge buds and blooms

This is supposed to be Eclipse, but I'm not too sure

Katinka

This came in a 'grab bag' ~ I think it's Kismet ?

You guys are knockin' my socks off . . drooling here. . . certainly couldn't pick a favorite.

Oooh Moby they are all really nice, but I like that Katinka! :) Sweet. ;)

jmorth - This is the one I marked "Golden Torch". Looks like yours.

here is a group pic of some of my lilies mom and sis gave to me

this is my fav lily blooming so far i can not wait for all the orientals

Thanks for sharing pics! Oh, I can't wait for my lilies!! My Lollypops are just starting to open, so that means Black Jack and Bali Hai should be following soon!! I love seeing the variety out there...I think I need more room for lilies!

Both of your 'Golden Torch' lilies are correct. I loved it last year. Isn't it nice?

'Katinka' looks a lot like 'Tiger Babies' doesn't it? Very nice.

This is appropriate for the first full day of summer

Summer Night

Thanks for the clarification GeorgiaJo, and the validation Magnolia.

Fredricka

Wow, Summer NIght is pretty! tlcgarden, your lily looks like my Loreto. I really like it too.

Susan

Dwarf lily noid.

Coral Reef

Fredrickais a lovely soft pink. jmorth, are you a night worker like me or just a night owl?

Susan

2nd shift supervisor - 14 years...night just seems right. I like it because I don't have to get up to an alarm clock and I can retire for the night at my leisure. I usually have the time to garden for several hours before preparing for work (weather permitting). I also think flowers, lilies in particular, really photograph neat at night. Neighbors may consider me eccentric but they like the show all summer.

Your night photos are really neat. I usually go home and work in the garden and take photos after I get off work in the mornings. My neighbors are used to seeing me out there deadheading in my scrubs.

Susan

Thanks magnolialover, I will check out those shorter ones. I like to make mixed containers and just love Stargazer's coloring.
Teresa

I'm really enjoying the lilies here.

Here is one I really find cool, 'Midsummer's Eve'. Really enjoying the more species looking ones these days. This one looks much nicer than the picture showed...love it when that happens.

This one is an LO called 'Divine', wonderfully fragrant and deep, rich color.

Tracey is that TLG 'Midsummers Eve'? How tall is the plant?

It's about 2 1/2 feet tall, but it is it's first year. And yes, it is from TLG. It just opened today, it looks broader than what the picture shows. The picture is a lily with more recurved petals. The coloration looks very similar. Do you think it looks like something else Andrew? Whatever it is, I don't have it already and I really like it....a lot.

Just curious ;*)
