Thanks, Sue.
This is 'Stunning' and it lives up to the name.
New thread for 2010 lilies
I think you'r right.
Lilies for today. I'm listing them as the vendors sold them to me. Let me know any mistakes.
A Peach
Brushstroke
Elodie
Gluhwein
Miss Alice
Sphinx (Lily Bugs got to it)-Has been better in other years.
I don't think I have a heavily freckled one. Muscadet, one purported to be easy, does not want to grow in my garden, after 2-3 attempts.
I love Stunning, just luv it
This was the bud
This is what it looks like
another new one
That last one is not a lily, it's a daylily ^_^
Love Stunning, yes, very suitable name!
Stunning has been blooming here for the last 13 days and still has buds to open. It's great!
I am very new to lillies and I have a lot of them, what is the difference between a lily and a daylily
A daylily is a fleshy rooted perennial while true lilies, Lilium, are bulbs.
Thank you, then the Lilies I have that spread are daylillies, right
Most likely. Some lilies increase so much that it's as though they spread, like 'Lollypop'.
A lily blooms on a stem and lily buds are all at the top. Daylilies bloom on "scapes" (several to a large clump of daylilies) and they have long leaves but true lilies do not.
Lily blooms can last for days whereas daylilies bloom for just one day but there are many buds on both lilies and daylilies for more blooms.
Hope I haven't totally confused you!
Well it is a little confusing as my lillies have been blooming for a couple of weeks, some have different type leaves some are fan shaped, some are a straight, long leaf, and then I have som that have a lot of short leaves on a stem.
A lot of short (shiny) leaves on a stem is more likely to be a true lily.
The really long leaved plants that grow in clumps are daylilies.
Daylilies look like this, with the grass like foliage from the base.
Thank you, now I know I have both *S*
Quote from pirl :
Both are gorgeous.
Did you want that wire rim of color on Boogie Woogie? It seldom looks like the promo photos for me.
This is year 2 for BOOGIE WOOGIE.
That seems to be the biggest complaint about BW. Very few get the pink rim like in the catalog photos show. I did get it a bit last year but none this year. And they are just a nondescript color with out it.
Sorry I am so late responding...we had storms last night so I shut down early! We have had 9 and a half inches of rain this month!
Thats a bummer on both counts.
Thanks for the info on BW.I'll take a pass.
It was rhumored the Volcano is the reason for the extreem weather.
I certainly hope the early spring doesnt mean an early winter.
nanny - BW has been both good and not so good here. I agree that without the rim it's not really exciting.
An early winter would be dreadful, ge.

New openings today
ge1836, Great lilies. You are really getting great on the computer. Like it alot.
Thanks D
It seems all the new openings I have watched for a week are opening on the back of the stem.Whats with that anyway?
Maybe they are camera shy?
Isn't that 'Firestar' at the bottom right?
Its from the Buggy mix
I would bet it is Firestar:
Thanks I appreciate any ID's anyone can give me.
Oh oh, Firestar, another one for my wish list!
My first blooms always seem to be facing the sunniest direction ~ which is away from me.
