Hi All...Had a family situation that took me away for awhile, but all is well and it's time to catch up...
Let's see...miscellaneous...
BillyP...I've found that even though they are very different in real life, I've seen pics of Matrix and Royal Sunset that make them look the same. There is a third one that photographs similiar also but can't remember what it is. My Matrix is electrically florescent, while my Royal Sunset is soft and muted....but I've seen other people's pics that make them look the reverse...BTW, I, too am droolingly envious of your gorgeous yard.

AlbertaR...Not sure why/how I plant out June1, other than if it's because I am so ready and I tell them to deal with it or what...??? I do a ton of stuff (3 tons, actually) in pots, but I still actually put plants in the ground right around June 1. Three years ago I was able to plant in the ground a week earlier, but this year I think we will still have three feet of snow on the ground in August...

Once I scrolled up and saw your list of lilies, I had to skim it and get out of that post. I was looking for a link when I said I couldn't find it. (Thanks Billy for the directions). Lilies are my addiction of choice, so I didn't dare read it carefully enough to look up each one. That ALWAYS costs me $$$. I'll have in the neighborhood of 100+ lilies this year. That is ridiculous when you consider I have to store 80% of them. I am a very sick girl....One of my goals this year is to label the pics of each lily. I have a bunch of pics, but don't remember who they are...duh. I've also realized I don't take pics of the whole plant (or the whole yard) so need to do better on that this year. Billy's long yard shots are beautiful....very inspiring...

Back to Billy...Where did you post your Muscadet pic? Love the size of the blooms. That is one of my Top 5 favorites. Who is your favorite lily vendor? Who is your favorite dahlia vendor?
