Pink Giant has made me thinking I need more recurved ones. It's charming.

2009 Lily Blooms #7
Where do your lilies come from mostly.
Lily Garden, Lily Nook, Buggycrazy, Faraway Flowers, co-ops, etc..
Here's Invasion
this has been such an awesome lily year, we're all going to be depressed when it's over...
Some of mine are from co-ops here on DG. Lots mailorder over the internet: buggycrazy, The Llily Garden, The Lily Nook, B and D Lilies, Faraway Flowers and lots more places I'm sure I'm forgetting. I've also gotten them from eBay. Think that's where Samur came from. Not always the most reliable place, but I seem to have lucked out with most my orders. A few older ones have come from Jung Seeds and other catalogs like Michigan Bulb, that I try to avoid now because they often send the wrong bulbs. Some have been given to me by DG members too or obtained in trades with friends. This year I joined the PNWLS and ordered some from their Spring sell.

You beat me to it Moby! Guess if I had to order from only one place, I might pick buggycrazy. It sure has been a good lily year. Sad to be cutting so many tops off.
Have lots of LAs not open yet.
I have heard of BuggyCraz I have been getting bulbs from Brent and Beckys as well as B&D lilies its been a good source for 20 years but lately I have had some dissapointments as stated above. I keep going back though.
I also have ordered from LilyNook.
Faraway Flowers used PayPal so I dont order from her. I placed an order last night and thought she had added regular creditcards choices so I put the order thru
BUT NO Pay-Pal pirated the info and charged it thru them, its a dollar when they do.
I can afford the dollar, I object to being decieved. and pay for it.
Maybe I just dont use the site right.
ENOUGH of my ranting, just had to get it out there.
She wrote back and said she was closed for this season or something like that.
I will hunt for lilies again when they start digging.
Your soft pinks and roses are just beautiful.
My new home has huge gardens and I seem to have planted mostly yellow lilies. I need more other colors and was looking for Ebony, thats how I found Faraway.
Ebony
I'm jealous.Its just waht I want
Invasion from the Woodenshoe Co-op last year...love this one!!
this walked by this morning eyeing my pretties.....
Invasion is very nice!
Very nice everyone!! Ramona, I really like that Raspberry on a Whip!! :) I'm still trapped in the house scraping plaster, spackeling and painting. Someday I'll get out to see my gardens again... I expect it to be December.

I just tried to look at The Lily Nook and their pages are blank.
Are they closed until Fall?
Nanny- Better watch out.
Just checked and Lily Nook worked fine for me. Maybe you could try refreshing your page? Not shipping until September but their site is open.
Novita
Thanx I really like their lilies.
I'll give it another go.
Added the next day:
DUHHHH

Silk Road...I was hoping for more this year from it.
Royal Sunset; thank you, Moby; you see why I quit photoing my flowers; it much more beautiful than this picture.
Front yard Planterbox garden.
Glad they're looking good for you Arlene. Yours aren't blooming yet, but this little ferny thing came along for the ride. Can you tell me what it is??
Moby, I think it's a weed. :-)
NOID - any ideas on who this might be?
closer up
2nd in ground Oriental to bloom this year - Muscadet. This is a week earlier than last year.
Firetruck - started blooming 6-7-09, still going nearly a month later, amazing longevity.
Moby your weed looks like Dill or fennell.I'd yank it while you can,both put down huge roots.
jmorth! I think your lily noid is Red Dutch
Today early , cloudy but stuffs going on
This is a view to prove I have more than just yellow lilies in the garden

oops this is more ,a collage
Wow, what is the double lily in the upper left corner of the collage? Beautiful!
I like that one as well.
Thats First Crown supposed to be single, no wonder it took twice as long to open.
I love it too
jmorth ~ Not Red Dutch, and too many for me to take a guess. http://www.lilynook.mb.ca/library/library-Div%20VIII_OTs.html Any idea where you got it from?
How do ya like my "al-lily-um"? One of my lilies grew right around an allium!
Shot from the other side
This one is Bestseller. They stay tulip shaped.
I love the fat fuzzy buds!
Shot of white noids and a planter I made.
Moby,
NOT a weed; you snagged a little start of a fern peony!
Love the al-lily-um. No way you could get them to do that on purpose. Here's American Heritage.
