My asiatics are done, but I did take some pics of them to post and will do those later.
My tigerlilies have gone sky high! Literally my "babies" are nearly 5 to 6 foot tall!
Apparently they are lovign it here in this garden so I have given them the permission to go rampant!
Nothing like a pretty to look up to!
Ok, now whoooose in?
by the house....
OK.. lets go Stargazing...
is it me or is the color off on this Stargazer? Perhaps its a a relative? To me, these appear darker than usual and the center is not as vivid either. Maybe its my soil... its alkaline
I only have one of these types, I call them spider lilies, it has been blooming for nearly a month now! The largest flower so far has been 9" from tip to tip. Can't wait to add more to my collection. Anyone know its name?
Its a daylily.. could be Lady Neva.. it looks similiar!
I have some reserrection lilies but they are all done blooming now....meantime here are some of my pink tigerlilies that bloomed in June!
For the record, a daylily is not a bulb... but anyway...!
Here is my spent reserection lily.. its in the pot with the giant marigold.. that dang marigold is almost 4 foot tall! Who'da thunk it get that big! HA!
I guess I should have looked a little better at the thread. I say lilies and thought daylily. Here is a pic of one of my lily, from a bulb LOL
This is Elodie, a double...first time for it to bloom for me.
anyone grow tango lilies? Mine never let me down. These bloom right out my front door, I can sit at my computer or on the couch and see them :)
Aww thats ok, Lilies.. bulds or DLs, the more the merrier! Bring 'em on!
Tangoes... cant say I have heard of those!
Can anyone ever have enough lilies?
I am planning on purchasing some for my daughter's property. I think they will survive her neglect of attending flower beds.
By the way .... there is a fall lily co-op at Dave's Garden that is opened until Aug 27th/
You can also order other fall planting flowers such as tulips, iris, hyacinths, daffadils, crocus, amaryllis ... and some others.
If interested go to this link .... you do have to d-mail the host or co-host and provide them with your regular e-mail address to get an invite from the vendor that includes a password to access special ordering process.
The discount prices are 50% + of the retail price ... and the retail prices are extremely good.

Merrymath, I think if one has "enough" lilies, they are six feet under! LOL!
Boy that one of yours is a goooood looker! Who is that?
Here are some of my NOID yellows....they are Asiatics....
I think you have a point there Blossom.
I think I will increase my lily order .... when you can purchase a high quality for under $1.00, why not
Here are the lilies that they are offering for fall planting

I planted lilies for the first time last spring. At that time I was still working ... I retired this May .... never thought before that I would ever consider it important to know the specific name of a flower ... just yellow asiatic ... pink asiatic .... etc LOL
Most of my landscape was eradicated during extensive exterior renovations 2 years ago. I am slowing re-establishing the landscape ... hopefully to something much better than I had before.
Here is one of this year's blooms .... and I have no clue to it's ID
Mary
Some days knowing the name is irrelavant to the beauty, um until you want to get one! LOL!
Under a buck? Wish I had time to go shopping...I got too much going on!
Theresa, I have Tango lilies. They don't seem to bloom long for me. The dark red one in your pic is really pretty, what is it?
