Hi Ghia, I agree with Magnolialover, when I plant Orientals, I usually plant 3. I'm not familar with all the lilies on your list. Are they all Orientals? Also, do you have any idea when Orientals generally bloom in your area? Most of mine bloom in July at a time when it can get real hot here. The south side of your house might be a tad too sunny. I'm guessing down your way, you need to give Orientals some afternoon shade. Otherwise, you'll have some severe fading. That's not to say you shouldn't plant lilies there, but it is something to consider.

This is a pic of Chambertain, Acapulco and Conca d'Or taken on July 11 last summer. These are on the south side of the house and I believe they had been blooming for about a week before this picture was taken. Chambertain is one of my favorites.
