'Dot to Dot'
2009 Lily Blooms #11
dot to dot, love the plant, love the name
A little stand of 'Dizzy'
Casablanca is indeed tried and true. I've had them for at least 8 years. I've grown them on the north, south and west sides of my house. West was a bit too much sun (90 plus degrees somethimes), but I've moved them all over my yard (4 locations) and they have thrived in every one.
It's so prolific, it limits my lily growing space - not that I'm really complaining.
If anyone is looking for a somewhat shorter Casablanca with the same qulities but not requiring staking, it's Crystal Blanca. I've had it for three years now and it's great. It's in bud now. I'll send pics when it blooms. My source was B&D lilies.
oh that Dot to Dot is cute!!
Purple Fountain is quite distinctive.
All so gorgeous! Distinction and Purple Fountain are really something else ~ wow.
I love Dot to Dot.
I think I like LO -- Distinction better than my 'Sea Treasure' or " Long Island'. Seems the pink is just that...distinctive and much darker, or is that the cooler temps we've been having?
I don't know, Celeste, but how I'd love to be a bee flitting from Mainiac to Moby to Magnolialover, Donna Mack and Vossner and then to your gardens.
Me too, bee, butterfly, dragonfly...not picky. ^_^
'Angelique' has started to bloom!
edited to say 'she' at least looks normal!

Pixie-- Those look good considering our weather! Pretty, pretty!
I love that little lily, it is by far one of my favorites!
'Lake Carey' opened today, actually had a few open fairly normal today.

'Baruta' , didn't realize how big these blooms would be.
'Baywatch'
'Concor d'Or' and phlox.
'Boogie Woogie" has turned completely yellow/white with the heat. With the cooler temps it had a hint of pink.
'Golden Stargazer' , I've had this one for at least 7 years and it's never failed me.
Last one, do you recognise it?? LOL It is an upward facing lily. I want to say it's 'Yelloween' but I don't remember planting it there!!
Wonderful! I'm no glad you all are getting your lilies up there in the northeast. You've waiting so long.
Pixie that Lake Carey is a beautiful color
Angelique is a beauty!
pixie, that last one looks like it may be 'Avocado'.
I don't own 'Avacado' .
It should be one of these........

pixie, didn't you participate in the Wooden Shoe/Ednie co op last year? 'Avocado' was subbed for another OT, and I'm thinking there may have been some extras I tossed into some boxes.
I'm with gemini on that one. It really doesn't look like any on that list. My bet is on 'Avacado' ;) It's very pretty.
Could be then , because I did participate in that one. Geez, I think I hit all the lily co-ops. ^_^ 'Avacado' it is!!!
Oh, I meant to say thank you for throwing them in gemini_sage. I'm enjoying them thoroughly!!!!

Crystal Blanca and white borage.
What a pretty sight that is Donna!
'Purple Fountain' gets a bit deeper of an edge as the days go by.
And I understand that 'Dot to Dot' was renamed 'Extravaganza' and both will probably be available at Faraway Flowers in the winter. I thought 'Dot to Dot' was a cute name too.
'Blood Spot'
I can never figure out which is my favorite part of lily season. Some of those that are open now I so look forward to. Maybe I just shouldn't try to choose ;)
'El Dorado'
I just love 'Cheops'
'Vitara'
'Moonspark'
And 'Sumatra' is rock solid. Just adore it.
'Salmon Jewels' The stem is not strong but the flower is amazing.
I'm not sure who this is next to 'Tiger Woods' but it sure is nice.
You keep the show going for so long, Mags ~ it's awesome. :)
El Condor
(forgive the garden junk in the background)
