Summer Lilies 2008 Pt. 5

My wife really likes 'Eric'. The rabbits helped it to multiply by chewing the tops off last year. This was planted in fall of 06 as one bulb! Now there is 10+ blooming stalks.

Wow, that's a fantastic clump of lilies. Your wife has good taste. ;)

'China Express', upper left, with the local wild life ;*)

Which one is 'Eric', the white ones or the maroon ones? My hubby saw the dark ones and wanted to know what they were. They're both beautiful!

'Eric' is the dark red lily.

Pure white open today.

Plain Yellow open first time today.

This one is different, only one blossom so far.

Lots of Vemeer open now.

Nice lilies, I especially like the local wildlife. And I bet she doesn't eat lilies either ^_^

Pardomania...

.

Very nice pard-stock.

very nice love, Eric

Holey buckets! Good job, Andrew ~ the wildlife is sweet.

Bernie ~ I think you might have Centerfold http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/92006/

Maywood

'Maywood' looks perfect in your garden, Moby. I don't remember that lime green in it from mine last year. Really stately ;)

Oh, I really like that 'Eric' too. My son's name is Eric, I'll have to watch for that one.

Here's 'Butter Pixie'

Grand Paradiso

more of the inside

Andrew, those pard trumpets are incredible! Love those rich colors, especially that single you got a shot of!

jmorth, Queen Kong is awesome!

Love those Buggy bulbs jmorth. The Queens are my favorites!

Wow, those trumpet lilies are awesome. Finally my Casa Blancas are opening up. So this far South. C.B. will mark the end of my season. :(( So share my joy of Casa's beauty! I love it.

Pardomania? Pard-stock? LOL! Good job on these, intercessor. I'm glad to see that the pink/red edge has carried through with the offspring of the originals!

Just a warning: don't try setting seed on these yet; the bulbs need to grow another year. OK to use the pollen on other grown up trumpets though.

jmorth, I love that shot of Touching...that is much prettier than the pics used in catalogs and online. I have always passed on it, but I would buy it from th pic!

Finally.....I have Triumphator!

Been trying to get this bulb for years and this time it really is Triumphator from Faraway Flowers.

And Elodie which Wanda shared with me is to die for.

Elodie
thunk!
just about done me in
looking at the beauty of it

I have had several doubles and WAS NOT impressed, after seeing this one in person, well...............you know the rest of the story!

'Triumphator' is a worthy garden lily isn't it? Here it multiplies nicely, just don't place it too close to the house, it's one of those that gets really eager in early spring to its detriment. A fragrant beauty...just look at those first year stems from Faraway Flowers ;)

Pardomania - a kaleidoscope of color!

Wait, that was the theme for our lily show last year . . .

I may have to resort to growing lilies in pots. there are just too many beauties and not enough room.

American Heritage always puts on a show. Desert Song is about finished below it.
