Wow, I agree Lily_Love, this thread of lilies is something else. What an incredible of variety and beauty we collectively all have!!!

Love the "Golden Torch" and "California" - I could see those both in my garden! Oh, and so many others. After seeing some of the pendant lilies my interest is piqued in them as well.

Tracey, your lilies are getting quite tall. And yes, the Gambetta does have a reddish "brush" on the petals which is how I could differentiate it from the others which I believe are Conca d'Or. The Gambettas are a slightly deeper color, too. I think the picture on the B&D site that you likely saw shows a much more intense coliring due to their climate. It doesn't look "faded" in a bad way here; just different.



Neal, thanks for the recommendations on the Orientals. If you're getting blooms this early I could subtract about three weeks I figure, which qwould be perfect. My Le Reves at the other house bloomed in early May but I haven;t bought any new ones to replace them at the new house :-(

Here is "Baywatch" an OT I planted that I really love...
