Lilies: 2009 Blooms #4

Found the ID for the Lily. Had to search back to 2007 invoices..but worth it as I may buy more.

These are Lily Monte Negro

I'm always so jealous. Ticker you always get blooms so far a head of me ;) 'Tiny Sensation' is unique, I think to the tango types because the splotching really is redder, not brown, don't you think? It looks great. And they bloom early.

I have a couple that are close. Kind of like waiting for a pot to boil while watching it.

I live vicariously through you all for now.

This stand of lilies is pretty much the same as gemini sage's Royal Sunset, except when I purchased mine they were sold as Marquee.

Gemini yes the poppies are perennial. If anyone wants seeds I will have plenty because they will take over my sungarden if I don't pick them. Let me know. BEV

Menora

Treffler

Menora!! That's what I have blooming out back! It's such a lovely lily and yours, Jmorth, looks exceptionally happy. :)

I do like that Treffler. :)

Wow Neal, what a fantastic show! I especially like the shot with the fence and the lilies on one side and your annuals/perennials on the other. Are those Cosmos you have coming up there? Talk about vigorous - mine grow through cracks in the pavement even.

Jmorth, as usual, what an impressive Asiatic display :-)

Not much new here - here is "Apricot", a trumpet.

This lily with the orange pepper-shaped buds is pretty even in bud form and very late blooming for me - will be interesting to see what it looks like - cannot remember the name.

I have a handsome looking bud -- a lankongense hybrid!

The OT patch under planted with Brodiaea Queen Fabiola .

Nice underplanting pardalinum.
Vermeer (I think):

Good Night - seriously.

Thanks, Steve! Yep, those are white Cosmos that have reseeded. They have been vigorous there! I've never had them reseed so prolifically. I'm particularly pleased to see that area looking good since it got dug into with the backhoe last fall- we discovered I'd put that garden right on top of the septic tank!

Love that 'Apricot'! I recognize that buggycrazy beauty :-)

pard, I love the Brodiaea under the Lilies!

I love all the ideas here for underplanting lilies. Never thought of poppies or the Brodiaea. I am finding that bleeding hearts work well under the taller ones because here the foliage goes dormant by early summer, so the lilies still get plenty of sunlight. Most of my lilies are just mixed in with my Iris and daylilies. Love the salsa part of your garden gemini_sage. and your Apricot is lovely Steve. Can't wait until I get home from work and see what's opened up today. I have 2 or 3 that will be open soon.

First Black Jack.

A pink NOID that I think may be Crete.

Lots of Lollipops. They have been in bloom for about a week now.

My one and only poppy.

WOW Susan ~ what kind of poppy is that? It's gorgeous, and I hope it reseeds for you.

Beautiful and ditto what Moby said.

The seeds were just called Lavender heirloom. They do reseed. This one is the only one that got to grow because I used Preen in all the flower beds, but it was smart and reseeded itself in a pathway. Tnink I may let it reseed in one b ed nest year because I love it too. Will save some seeds.

I've got lavendar peony flowered poppies, but no singles. Last night I had to stake one of them up; it's so heavy with buds it was laying on the ground!

Catching up here today after several days away.... far too much to comment on, except to say Wow. So so lovely, everyone. My martagons are opening up, but that's it. Most everything else still has a long way to go. Love that I can get my fill here....

Nice underplantings pard. All of these lilies here make me feel like my season is extended through all of you.

My first real asiatic bloom, it even beat 'Elegant Lady', who is usually first of all of them, but two martagons and now this one beat her to bloom.

'Valley Girl'

So many just waiting their turn.... okay...so it's mag's version of a lily field.

Now...to be patient and wait for more bloom ;)

That's the hardest part! :) but when all of your lilies are blooming it's a sight to behold! ;)

Mags--it looks like a lily field to me. It will be beautiful when it's all in bloom.

magnolialover - Love that picture of all those lilies. I thought I had lots planted together but you beat me hands done. What I show coming up when they all bloom.

Finially, blooms starting here.

Oriental lilies Miss France, new this spring.

Wow, Tracey, what a vision.

Newyorkrita, your lilies look like they are about to do the can can.

Love that 'Valley Girl' Mags!

Jacqueline Lilies in the planter box. This is a new terraced bed that was planted in daylilies and lilies this spring.

Here is a longer view of that garden section with the Jacqueline lilies in front of the raised terrace shrub roses section.
