Lilies: Anyone know what type of lily this is?, 4 by cathy166

I always assumed it wasn't a big bloomer, and it is in partial shade. Doesn't grow too tall. It's not my favorite flavor, so it gets very little attention. Lollipop doesn't pack the punch of color like the rest of our asiatics with bold color and lots of buds, but she will perform for you, so don't write her off. Enjoy her.

I am not familiar with what grows in zone 8, but I'm sure you have lots more choices than in colder zones. Some of the bulbs that are so tolerant of our freezing winters may become different plants in warmer winters. I often have zone envy!

The first photo is of asiatic lilies that live in a container on our back deck. They're a little close together, but not unhappy. I believe 3 and 5 are Orienpet. The trumpets are huge. I believe number 4 is Elodie, an asiatic with lots of blooms, and the blooms have extra sets of twisted, skinny petals.

I am not the best choosing these photos from thumbnails.
