here is stargazer... this is my first year with orientals... when only two stargazers were blooming it smelled up a rather large area... i had moved this stargazer, and it didnt go thru any shock at all., only one flower was open and after i moved it , a day or two later the other flower opened...(:
lilyfan i am soooooo glad to see u have a digital now...(: it will be so nice to see all ur gardens thru the seasons!!!! (:
Coral sunrise? llilyfan do you know?
anahi, it looks to pink to me to be Coral Sunrise. When did you get the bulb?
Here is one of my favorite lilies: Amarillo an outfacing asiatic
anahi, could it possibly be Dress Rehearsal?
Here is a bright and bold combination 'Yellow Elf' with 'Stella d Oro' beside and 'Stones' behind.
chrissy,lovely flowers! Would you believe I don't have Staregazer! I think I must work on that.
Here is a trumpet lily that was supposed to be 'Pink Perfection' I think it is actually 'Regale album' None the less she is still a blooming beauty!
llilyfan, I got the bulb from the irls last fall. I used a wooden stake with black perma marker. Obviously I won't be doing that again! The darn thing rotted on me and broke off.... LOL!
Sure wish I would have ordered more of the metal markers from irls..I'm out of them already.
llilyfan, did you get your "Pink Perfection" from the irls? They are beautiful! Your lilies are WAY ahead of mine! One lily that is on my list of must haves this year is Tinos. Langbr posted a picture of it and it's a bute!
I love this thread! Everyone has such beautiful lilies!
Did I plant this? I sure don't remember it and don't have anything in my planting notebook, so I must have forgotten to write it down. It's new this year so I probably put it in this past Fall. Anyone know what it's name might be?

llilyfan - do you think it could be Coral Sunrise? I sure don't remember planting this at all! They are in the middle of my Daylily bed of all things!!
This was in a Trumpet Mix I bought last year, really looks like an Orienpet to me!

I love trumpets! Here is the Pink. Some of these are 6+feet tall this year.

Puddle...that first one looks a bit like 'Shocking' but a deeper yellow on yours.

puddle,
i believe it is shocking too. and yes it is an orienpet. i just got mine this year from eflowergardens.com i'm looking forward to the blooms.
anahi,
i like the combination f flowers that you used. also, have you tried paint markers? i use one called a decomarker. they are far superior to a permanent marker. i find black is best, although i tried purple and pink and even thugh they faded to white, you can read the white on the white plant label... :-D
this is a site to check out just to show you the one i use and the stats on it

beautiful pics ladies. thanks..
debi z and franklin too
Debi - your link has an error in it, but I copied and pasted and then took off the "ti" in front of the http portion.
I thought it was "shocking" also, I just planted 25 of those about a month ago, they are all budded up, I am going to compare when those bloom.

langbr,
I wish I could be of more help. There are so many lilies out there that are sold as collections and mixed bags and most of them are un-named, but beautiful none the less. The blended ones are so pretty. There are several named lilies with coral in the name, Coral Reef, Coral Sunrise, and Coral Sunset that I am aware of. My knowledge is quite limited however and I am nowhere near intelligent about these flowers that have captured my love. (I do intend to change that) Is this lily upfacing or outfacing? That along with the height can help narrow it down.
anahi,
saw your lily at the show and I still don't know which one it might be, I'll keep checking!
Hey everyone, anahi took some stems to the Iowa Lily Show and got Blue Ribbons! Way to go Bev!!!!!!!
Much congrats, Bev! That's really cool!
Here's a couple of my favourites...Samantha and Marco Polo -just to show you how TALL it is this year!!! Is it going to keep getting taller every year? and for how many years? This one is now 5 or 6 years old.
It's definitely an Asiatic Llilyfan....upward facing at end of stem and just a stab at height I would say 3 feet. I'll just enjoy it as it is without a name. Sure wish I remembered planting it!!
lol brenda, i can relate to not remembering planting things. but it is a wonderful surprise to see them there and then to await what they are going to look like. a plant marker can tell me the name, but it can't tell me what it looks like. :-D
Last weekend was the IRLS Lily show....and look who brought home the best of show blue ribbon! Congratulations llilyfan!!!!! Now THAT'S something to crow about!! Great growing llilyfan!
CONGRATS LILYFAN!!!! thats great!!!!!
i have a few O-lilies that i need ID'ed i planted them in the fall , and never specified in my journal where exactly i planted them only by bed... i already posted them in the ID forum but havent heard anything yet... so if u guys would be so kind to give me ur opinion on which one u think they are it sure would be alot of help to me.. (: plus lilyfan i promised u pics of the raised picket fence bed pics when they started to bloom.. so i can kill two birds with one stone..(: ok let me start... i THINK this is Muscadet, but am not sure if it is or if its Mountain mist... whatcha guys think?
Ok here is another one, is this dizzy? or?????
do u guys think this is an O or an A lily? and name maybe? i planted this like 2 year ago , forgot i had it and while looking at my grapes growing , i noticed what looks like a tiger lily stalk... it has grown 4 ft high to get to the sun thru the grape vine... they have a really nice sent, and are quite pretty, the blooms arent as big as an Oriental though... so whatcha guys think?
Congratulations llilyfan! Way to go!
Love looking at all of your photos here. Here was a surprise that opened yesterday. Where do these surprises come from....hmmm...I'm the only gardener...so I must have dug the hole.....
Regale Trumpet Lily. Strong fragrance.
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post, but I got trojaned Wed morning and just got my computer back up and running.
Thanks all, but (and I hate to do this) I did not win Best in Show. I did win Best Iowa Grown Outfacing in show. I just hate making corrections, but I don't want to take the glory or satisfaction from the true winner. Mrs. Dennis won the Best in Show with a wonderful lily called Aladdin's Sun. I was totally awed to even get a blue ribbon much less one of the major awawrds! Thanks for the congrats everyone.
chrissy: i'll try to check and see. If you planted named lilies, the names can usually be 'triggered', however if they came as a mix they might never have been named lilies. chrissy, does that last one have a fragrance?
sue_wa: is that lily a peach or a pink? It is lovely and i love the way the sunlight highlights the petals.
congratulations on your Best Iowa Grown Outfacing in show. you must have been so happy and proud. you go girl!.
It is pink. I have another 'surprise' it looks exactly like the pink one above but taller. I'm completely scratching my head.
And I just love them!
And.......still congrats on your award!! It's great!!
Oopps, sorry for the mistake llilyfan! I guess to me it WAS the best of show. LOL it was alot of fun and seeing all the different lillies was a treat in itself! It's a good way to start a new list for fall planting! LOL ( : Bev : )
sue_wa: I love surprises, send some of them gremlins to my yard!
Thanks for all the congrats, yes, I was straining the buttons on my shirt!
anahi: Thanks for the vote of 'Best', but you too did super with some blue ribbons at your first show also. Outfacing is one of the smaller divisions!
My trumpets are starting! Here is 'African Queen"
i've always liked african queen. it is on my lengthy list. :-D
here are a few from my gardens that have started to open. this is lilium tenufolium. such a dainty bright red blossom.
here is a neat picture of an unknown trumpet blossoms and there buds all in a row. can you id this one for me anyone?
another one i need i.d. ed if possible. this is an l.a. lilium. the lighter bud is about 4 days older than the darker one. i love this color.
this is the first asiatic lily to blossom in my gardens. she is a dwarf about 18" tall. this picture is of two babies that had there first buds this year.
and........this is the same asiatic but the blossom never formed entirely. why does this happen, anyone know?
ok this is the last one for tonight. :-D a trumpet 'regal album'. these all smell so wonderful and i sit on my screen porched and see them glowing in the moonlight and smell there delicious scent, while sipping on any ol thing.
Debi on your trumpet, maybe the white Regale? Just a guess. And I'm curious, what does L.A. mean when you describe them???
A colorful and relatively new addition to the Lily family is the LA Hybrid category. LA Hybrid gets its name from is cross parentage between longiflorum lilies (the Easter Lily) and Asiatic hybrids. The result are new, vibrantly colorful trumpet lilies. These lilies have only been available for about 10 years. They are strong and have a good vase-life. With larger than average flowers, LA Hybrids gain their trumpet style from Longiflorum and their brilliant array of colors from Asiatic.
Lilium longiflorum-asiatic hybrids
In the 1970s, the breeders at Sun Valley Bulb Farms in California produced a new type of lily by crossing Lilium longiflorum (trumpet lilies, such as the Easter lily) and Asiatic hybrid lilies. These L.A. (longiflorum-asiatic) hybrids are reputed to be exceptionally vigorous and disease-resistant.

Thanks TLC, very interesting. I'm guessing Regale is one of the old timey ones then? I am really becoming interested in these. Actually all of the different lilies. Majoenese....formosanum...gosh so many. And all so beautiful.
hi lilyfan, well congrats anyway , u must be tickled that one of ur babies won a blue ribbon!!!! yes the last lily had a slight smell.. i dont think that other one is dizzy, i looked it up on google and it looks nothing like that, i was thinking maybe it was pink dawn... here is aruba ...
