Definitely not the same, but it looked like someone in this thread was looking for a source for Royal Sunset. Didn't mean to confuse. Polly
Still looking for an id on this one.....
Yeah, Marc was trying to get rid of some hard-earned cash. We were contributing to that endeavor. I didn't see that source when I googled it - probably didnt' look far enough. :)
Bother, though fur sure I had found it today. It is NOT First Lady
!@#$ Inanda
The more pix I see of CP (David's origonal 'guess') the more I am convinced he is correct......but time will tell. I'm gonna have to wait and see it bloom in my garden first. :-)
My goodness!!!!! Just finally got my computer up and running and the new house and feel like I can finally get on DG without feeling guilty that I have other jobs to be doing.
Moby - you stay clear of my old place -- at least until I'm done getting all my loot. LOL
I did buy Kiss Me Kate, Royal Sunset and a few other possibles last fall to compare to my unknown. Now if I can just get them all dug from the old place and moved then my research can proceed.
Marc - I've landed on that New Zealand site so many times when searching for lilies and I tell ya one of these days I'm gonna order from them -- they've got so many I'd love to have.
Now I'm off to read over 60 watched threads since I was last on DG a few weeks ago. Ugh.
Welcome back Brenda! Good to see you again.
Thanks, Mendi! I've sure missed you guys!
Hey Brenda....welcome back...we've missed you. Deb
Thanks, Deb!!!
We've missed you too, Brenda! How goes the unpacking?
Welcome back Brenda. Glad to hear you are at least pointed in the 'got that accomplished' direction!
langbr - I wondered where you had gone, as I have not seen your posts for a long time!! Did you move? What are you gonna do with all of your lilies???
I'm planning to dig quite a bit of my old garden plants (and leave some for the new homeowners). The new home sits on just over 2 acres and my old house was on a 1/4 acre lot so............I've got lots of plants to buy even if I take everything from the old place which I won't. So far I see no signs of perennials at the new place (a handful of tulips and daffs are coming up in front), but there are TONS of shrubs.....the previous homeowner left excellent files on the home (appliances, etc) and one of the glorious discoveries was a map of the property and what shrubs were planted. I think I'm now the proud owner of something like 18 holly shrubs, 9 rhododendrons, 12 azaleas, some spirea and a handful of shrub roses. She had some very nice size beds laid out and borders installed along with a sprinkler system. I've got the excellent backbones of some very nice perennial beds that's for sure.
Oh, you lucky dog!
Wow Brenda! You are lucky!!!! I'm so happy for you, but jealous too!! I can't even imagine having 2 acres! lol
Actually it's so big that I'm not even sure where to start!! The front faces East and the back West so I've got lots of sun to work with and very little shade. I think my new shade bed I put in at the old house last year will stay where it's at. :-(
On the bright side I have room for tons of lilies and daylilies!! :-D
Congratulations, Brennie!!!! Sounds like you have your work cut out for ya!!! and so much doing all that work!!! I sure missed ya, but I was not here (dg) and didn't know you was gone, too!! Just got back from Az last night... and I sure was sick before that.....
Welcome back Starr! Good to see ya again.
Thanks, Mendy! I missed y'all very much!
Starr I hope you take it easy and get 100% again. Don't want to still be sick when the cold spring rains come.
Thank you! I am sure working on it and not smoking is bound to help me out in that dept... ;)
Just wondering if this has popped up at your old house yet?
I've got about 4 or 5 stalks up from around this one so I think it multiplied like crazy. I was there today and am debating on whether to try and lift the bulb with LOTS of soil and transplant it here at my new home. What do y'all think?
Yes, yes and yes Brenda. I've been moving lots of lilies this past week. Move away.
I've been thinking about you and hoping that you went back and did major digging.
Pot them up for the mo, if you haven't made new beds for them. I'm doing that to 32 clumps that I have to move now. Some pots are not large enough so am putting them into shopping bags with a fair amount of soil with them.
BTW, ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! of my orientals survived here, so will do some serious buying ASAP. Good info to PDB.
Ginny
Also, a buddy of mine bought ta ta S-- G-- last year so I'm going to baga scale or two.
Oooooo.....VERY good info Ginny!!! I'll head over there this weekend. Weather is suppose to be fabulous Sat. & Sun.
You did not get scales of Sun God, did you??? Oh my word!! Well now I can say I know someone who knows someone that has Sun God!! LOL
Very good info on hardiness on the Orientals indeed. Who da thought 2b was possible. Did you have to do some pretty serious mulching?
RE Orientals. Yes, very serious mulching. A bag of leaves on top of them. Also, we had a ton of snow last winter. How nice to be able to say -last winter-. Didn't dare leave the pardelinum out though. Brought them in to fridge. They started sprouting so are a couple of feet high now and .... no buds. RATS.
and bother.
BTW, if you do end up putting lilium in shopping bags, keep them in the shade till replanting. You don't want roots to cook inside plastic. Am sure this is like telling Granny not to suck eggs but still.
My other triumph is that Lewisia made it.
Inanda
Haven't got the scales yet. But I will ......
I knew somebody was calling my name! S-- G--?? Good job, Ginny! You've got friends in all the right places! We'll have to compare our scales when we get them... I'm so excited about getting a baby! Can u tell? LOL
Haven't got my Sun God scales yet. However, a pot with 3!!!!!!!! Norths should be here next week. Only one I can remember is Angela North. Will have to wait till they arrive, to see who the other ones are.
Still have 15 bulbs in fridge and nowhere to plant them. Space all taken up with sib. iris I had to move .
Todays mini grouch. Ordered Dance Ballerina Dance and today substitution arrived instead.
Inanda off to water.
bummer inanda,
well you can always send the leftovers down here to the vole eating capital of the world. LOL
debi & franklin
I have an inkling that inanda will have nooooo leftovers.....
Left overs. Sometimes I do. Last year I dug up a really big patch of something quite unusual for our bulb sale -- and --- they were left over at the end. Nobody knew what they were. Can't remember the name of course. Too wet to go and look outside.
Seeing that every single (all of 3) of my orientals survived last year, I've just planted 10 more. Hee hee. Yum yum.
Ginny just about ready to place first lily order of the season
-are you listening Echoes & Dill Pickle. Order will go in this week. To SW.
Inanda
langbr I haven't read all the threads here, did you find aname on your lily?
just wondering, I got the whiteflowerfarm book today, and they had a lily in there called kiss me kate that looked like your lily.
kathy
LOL Nope, not Kiss Me Kate.
KathyAnn - thanks for your suggestion, but have ruled that one out some time ago.
Moby - got your email and Agrippa might be a possibility. Will check this year's blooms against it to see if it's a match or not.
well call it twyla's is ok by me.. lol. i love it black Jack sunset one the kiss me one all them so bright pretty..have nice week end.. blessings ... Twyla
Brenda,
Took your photo to NALS. Asked and asked all kinds of people, as well as comparing to show stems. Still no luck.
Just to let you know I tried.
Inanda
