Everybody's welcome. North, south, east, west. Post your lilium pretties.
I tagged this as "starburst" but I think that's wrong. If you recognize, pls post here
A glimpse of Triumphator, with rose Belinda's Dream and my beloved purple plum tree.
Nice combination. :)

Oh I really like that dp. dark tiny padhye.
May I ask where you purchased this lovely bulb and are their other colors in that series?

TY, I got the Tiny thru the Pacific NW Lily Society's annual spring sale. My friends here in this forum did not have to twist my arm too hard for me, from TX, to join. I'm happy I did.
Brent and Beckys has a sale on now. I almost bought Triumpatore
Go for it, Jo. You said you had more room for lilies.
Tiny Padhye is lovely. I assume the one on the right is one that opened before the one you took the picture of? The more faded one looks lovely too. Or it could be just the way the sun is shining on it.
I replaced a no-show Polly
we are the original owner, so the only thing I can think is the curcuma aka hidden ginger had to be in the same pot or part of the original plant.... thanks vossner
Love, love, love that Tiny Padhye!
its on my fall wish list
Triumphator and White Triumphator.
Those Triumphators are beautiful voss!
Red Planet
Ooooh I love RP too.
Tropical Dream - note the hail damage received last night, good one unfurled today. A sudden thunderstorm dropped a couple inches of rain after initializing with a wind swept fury of hail, lasted several minutes, dime size.
Crimson Pixie
grouping of Crimson Pixies
This is either Salmon Classic or Yellow Blaze (mapping confused).
Lollipop and a different buff lily also started blooming but first ones got zapped.
Admired that Tiny Padhye pictured up above...
Oh, so pretty.
Of the lilies I planted my Triumphator seems stunted. It was about to burst through the plastic shipping bag and I figured it would grow the fastest, but it has no noticeable height gain from day to day where as the other change daily. I keep hoping it'll get a burst any day.
And I thought I was the only one having problems with Triumphator. I got several bulbs from 2 different vendors. You're right Sunshine, they seemed to be stunted or something. My first batch from the first vendor took forever to sprout out of the ground. I was going to dig them out to see if there were any problems but eventually they sprouted.
Out of 4, three sprouted so far all at different time. Receive another 6 from a lily coop - 4 has sprouted again each one at a different time frame.
Lilies planted in the Spring will always be shorter as they are trying to do 2 things at once ~ grow roots and grow tall. Something has to give and that usually shows in the height. They will be taller next year.
Your the best Moby
I wondered the same thing and just figured I would have to wait.
Moby good observation! Thanks for sharing your experience. I've another orange lily blooming today.

This could be 'Star Gazer' coming up next. Thanks Ge.
Voss, those trumphinators are really beautiful. I like the way you have planted them together to such stunning effect.
Jmorth, your lilies are really popping! Four different roses have started blooming but no lilies yet, although there is a bumper crop this spring. Question for you - do you have an absence of rabbits? I am seeing very few this spring. They are not nibbling at the liles the way they have every year.
Lets hope there was a bunny virus that thinned them out like the Racoon virus that dwindled that population years ago.
I read a story about bunnies disappearing from Central Park (New York). I go running most mornings and I used to see 10 or 20 bunnies running around. In the last month I have seen TWO! I've never had so many lily stems.
That's becuase they are all here in Hannibal, nibbling on my siberian iris leaves.
OMG Polly how awful.
i'm sorry, Polly. The little b-------!
People on the other side of my community feed them. Can you imagine?!
me thinks I need the crimson pixie. I checked out the B&B sale and only got me some more lollipop, and some species type glads.
you know, I've planted muscadet and tom pouce 3 times and they have either not come up or not returned. bought from reputable sources. don't know why they don't like my garden, sniff....teary sniff.
Love seeing all the lily blooms here!
Lots of buds coming on fast here now and getting close. I can't wait! SO excited to see some of the new ones bloom.
My Triumphator is not being its usual robust self either this year. I divided it last fall and replanted 3 bulbs and only 2 sprouted and look a little puny at that. It usually is the first to bloom but I don't hink it will be this year.
Voss, you're not alone with 'Muscadet'. I planted some, they returned the second year, but apparently has disappeared on the 3rd. Big tears here too, for I love them. Donna, I've the one and only one Silk Road from you. Thank you, I hope 'Silk Road' will return for me...longing, longing.
Thanks Jo and Donna. Tonight out goes the big gun. The water scarecrow. I hope to send a few of those little stinkers running. I think they are so darn cute, too. And I know it's rabbit nibble on the leaves cause I saw one of the little stinkers at work. I asked him what he thought he was doing, and he just looked at me.
Dont you just hate the attitude of entitlement on the wild life?
