Hi,
Carol, we do have the same Oriental Lily, I am glad you remembered her other name Casa Blanca is it!

I too, want to add more-seeing this graceful plant has given me a new addiciton! In the space she is growing is begging for more, I think Casa Blanca definatley needs some company.

Betty, wish I could help on roses but for some reason I just can't seem to grow them. I got one from the RU, planted her and nothing! I am red in the face for having killed her. But then again , I left the stalk hoping praying that by a small miracle she will bounce back next season. My Josephe's Coat
I had 9 waves of flowers in the first and only season. Was stunning! So I am thinking that I need to build a special planters box just for roses. Will try again next year, in different location and better soil.

OK, so in my crafting corner, I painted the butterfly on the bird house...Tried the shading trick that Shar advised and I think it turned out really nice. Now what color flower do think- Do blue butterflies care what color the flower is? My neighbor said orange but I m not sure yet.
