I LOVE trumpets. I'm so glad I started collecting them before they went "out of fashion" which they are - Tracey's right.

I have Amethyst Temple (White Flower Farm), Emerald Temple (B&D), Silver Sunburst and White Henryi (Old House Gardens). They seem to be the LAST choice of rabbits and voles. The scent is wonderful, they are healthy and they reproduce well. I've been able to gift all four.

I still curse the rabbit that took out my Longidragons (Longiflorum/Black Dragon cross), aka Dragoon. It came from B&D, was shorter, and needed no staking.

It's the one lily I most covet, and have corresponded with Bob and Dianna about it. It's short and fabulously scented, and the picture does not do it justice,It's going to be a while before they can raise enough to offer it. It stopped people guided through the yard in their tracks.

But wow, they were commonplace when I started collecting in 2000. I thought I was a little unsophisticated in loving them, but I didn't care.
