Thanks everyone for the nice comments :-)

Neal, If you are referring to the melon one it is "Swansea". I got it and most of the other LA's except Algarve from B&D a couple years ago. they have all gotten HUGE. And every LA I sniff-tested is fragrant! I guess that stands to reason due to the bloodlines. I think LA's are now my favorite lilies- well at least until the OT's bloom, LOL. And the LA's have HUGE flowers and are tall - I have two Swansea stalks that are about five feet tall.

Moby, I want to see your "Cecil" when it blooms. I might have to get that one too! :-)

mattsmom, yes I had to get on the ground and look up LOL - how could you tell?

Lily, you should try again with Callas - what do they do? I have had pretty good luck with them returning. Do yours flower at all?

Here is LA "Algarve" - kinda similar to Brindisi in coloring but a much more even pink and doesn't fade as much.
