Wow Neal, have fun with all those lilies! I love to see masses of tulips, but I have opted for those which will return, species. They are not as cheap so I buy only 3 or 5 according to what is offered of each one. Well I did buy two packs of mixed pastels from the supermarket, they knocked some off for two! I put them in large tubs so I can see what they are and hopefully look after them, one is close to fully open now.

That must have been a pleasant surprise Steve, to get all those returning!

aggie, you have some lovely doubles!

The first of the species I got last year has opened, T. clusiana 'Tinka'. Their pic shows it primrose yellow and cardinal red but mine is white and raspberry, but the base shows some yellow. I like it better I think, but it doesn't look like any of them.

The front one has opened today, back one yesterday and it's aged deeper.
