My first lily of the season has opened! Dimention from Faraway Flowers. 40" tall, a deep rich black-red...Thank you, Ramona!

My intention was to have my new Asiatics in the ground before bloom but since we are 2 weeks behind in temperatures warming, my existing lilies are late and slow in poking their noses up. I chose not to dig in my lily beds to put new babies in until I saw who was coming back. (Now that they are lazily peaking up, I see that they were busy multiplying while they were supposed to be resting peacefully under the snow). So Dimention is still in her pot and will get her home in the soil after she finishes blooming. Right now, she's basking in her private glory on the deck until all her brothers and sisters are ready to join her. With a bloom this early, it should be a long season of surprises!
