This lily is so delicate and fragrant!

Stargazer

My only 'Stargazer' and I didn't get a photo until now, when it is almost done and waterlogged! It is going to be the only bloom but there are a good number of stalks so next year.... always next year. I really have to stop moving stuff.

Look at the buds on that!

This is that strange oddity that I posted last month. Will be interesting to see if all the buds bloom - I stopped counting at 45 and rounded it off to 50.

Acapulco

 

My Acapulco showed up. 3 blooms and two stalks, both of a good size so I think it will be fine now.

The mysterious orange

Can you identify it now?

Found them!

 

I bought another 'Madrid' this year because they are my favourite lily and I thought I had lost them but look what just showed up! Whoo Hoo, I will have 'Madrid' all over the place. If you find any... I don't need them back :)

Front garden in the evening

Madrid

Still my favourite lily!

Tiny white lily

My tiny white lily is back as well - in the orange lily garden. My garden is getting so exciting now and should continue that way for a couple of weeks until all the lily are open.

Landini

The second flower opened on the stalk that had the tiny little deformed flower. It is Landini so you can cross that one off the list of ones I don't have. The best part is that when the rain doesn't have 80% of the coneflower on the ground and that single stalk becomes a patch, this spot is going to look awesome!

Weekend is over

Lily went home today. We had her visiting for the weekend. She has a little cold but wasn't miserable about it at all. She slept more though. Made for a quiet weekend.

Hula Lily

It's lily time again! I have way less than I used to but my early orange, hula, orange electric, your yellow and what I think might be Landini all are open with several more to open yet. Of course, until they do open, I have no idea what any of them are!!!

My hula lily showed up in three spots - at the boardwalk edge, in the orange lily garden and in the nursery. One flower covered stalk in each spot. I am going to move at least two of them so they are together. Not sure which or to where yet.

Lily Location

You know, the easiest part is buying them. The hardest is trying to keep them alive in pots until I finally figure out where to plant them! I moved that small patch of dwarf iris closer to the rock edge, got rid of the lamium and dead tulip leavings and plopped all three of these together in this spot. This is at the front of the boardwalk, the dogwood there is above these lily. Usually I plant annuals in this spot but I am really trying to get away from using annuals, other than in pots. These are short lily so they should work here and eventhough this spot is full of colour in the spring, it really needed something for summer besides viola.

What are we calling this?

 

I had to put another pic of this one up because although it is only one stalk, it is FULL of flowers. What are we calling this one? I can't remember.

Lily

Lily got her first wedding invitation but only made it about half way through before she and Nicholas came here.... both hot and tired but it seemed like they had some fun.

Lily 'Tiny Bell'

I know that looks yellow but it really is orange. I am going to try and get a shot of it in the sun tomorrow. It was starting to storm and late evening when I took this one.

What do you think this is?

My vote is that is is 'Landini' but I could be wrong. It was moved last year and is just a tiny little deformed thing this year! There is another, bigger bud so maybe it will be more recognizable by then.

Lily Time

This opened today in the sun circles. This is the only lily besides my early orange that are open so far. This came from you, right?

Strange lily

OK you have to look closely at this one. Notice the lily 'stalk' is wide and thin - like those licorice strips you pull apart - over 4" wide. And it's got TONS of buds - will probably fall over under its own weight when it blooms. Weirdly deformed! (This is lily Red Hot.)

Little yellow

These lilies are in the front rock garden and the stalks are only 4-5 inches tall. They're cute little things :)
