Love the Golden Stargazer, lincolnitess - and Moby - while your LeReve blooms a month and a half after mine, our Black Beaties are in sync!! I only have a few standard lilies left blooming - Black Beaty actually has done a lot better this year than last and is blooming now (many of the others didn't do well with our hot dry summer this year - last summer was much milder). Also interestingly I have "Ice Caves" blooiming and it appears to have suffered little from the heat. Many of my daylilies are reblooming, though.
Even More Midwestern Lilies
don't feel bad mine are done in .
Looks like their gonna go to Lilly heaven ?
Only for this year, I hope!
Steve FtWorth....do you have a picture of your Ice Caves? I have one (I think it was mislabled as it has a yellow center)
Bergama, Pink Icecicles and Gold Band all bloomed the same white with tiny white yellow stripes. Fun & games.
SteveFtWorth, my Black Beauty is much better this year than the first too. The blooms are almost double in size. I have a feeling it is one that just needs to be left along and it will continue to get better and better. I have a few lilies I planted out really late, so am hoping to see a few more blooms yet.

Susan, I was reading above about your 'Lady Alice' being what I also believe is L.henryi. You mentioned that the blooms were smaller than your white henryi. I read in Brent and Becky's catalog that Lady Alice and White Henryi are the same lily, so you've already got it! And it looks like you still got something new. Those are both on my want list.
Neal.
That's very interesting Neal. Here is a photo of what I think is White Henryi and your right it does look like the photos of Lady Alice. Guess I need to just enjoy them all and not worry about the names.
Susan
Gorgeous with your cosmos, lincolntess!
Is that an unreported 'color echo'?!!
That photo was taken last summer and I cheated by putting the lilies in a vase and putting them in front of the cosmos. The photo did remind me how much I liked those white cosmos last year. Wonder why I didn't save some seeds?
Susan
Its so hot i feel tempted to join my nude lady lillies and shuck clothes and frolic in sprinkler ?
naw ! " been there done that "
I am HOT and bored ? thinking ,thinking ?
Tazzy ~ I see on WeatherBug you have 104° forecast for today. We have 105°. I think I'll join you.
How about we just go back a few million years and put the inland sea back where it belongs? THAT would cool us all off fast. (having heat dreams in Iowa)
We call them ' hot flashes' in Oklahoma
LOL
its a 100 in shade and thundering ,we wont get a sprinkle
its heat lighting /
this was blooming at hope 43 (Twylas) yesterday
look close it different ?
has yellow in throat
this is what rest look like ?
white in throat . no its not pollen ?
Heat got to it? No naked ladies here, but the sprinkler is starting to look good...
Do we dare ? I think not ? I am to dignified to do that sort of nonsense
Tazzy???? Who stole my friend and left a prude in her place??? Fat chance! Still avoiding the comments of the infamous"Naked Lady" hater?
Well, our Nekkid Ladies have not even shown a stalk yet, so in protest, I'll join you and put up my sprinkler Tazzy. There is everything dignified about cooling off, hey?
Shoot, I've been wanting to scare my neighbors for a while now anyway.................
I have new people moving in could break them in right?
Oh yes hon, absolutely! Better than a block party I would say.................hee hee. :-D
LOL Just don't get thrown in the pokey!
Ok, ladies.....before ya'll get in trouble again......here is my latest bloom. Tom Pouce FINALLY decided to show it's face. And what a pretty face it is. (I'm not in the midwest though.....can I still play?)
Of course you can, honey! Purdy!
Here's another "pet" to gaze at....what a beauty...STARGAZER!
How lovely....mine are long gone. I can almost smell them. :)
Hey refgio0818! Mine just bloomed too. I need to go shoot a photo!
I have not met you yet, so Hello! and Nice To Meetya!
Sue
Howdy Refugio : nice looking lily , ,come back again ,we will be here or in the sprinkler ? LOL
I played in the rain yesterday & it's wonderfully cool in the 70s today. Can't wait to get off work & move a couple of things in my garden!
i got sprinkled,still have to water
front door open
Nice breeze in the 70°
Frst time in six weeks you can breath and go
out side with out falling over dead,from heat ?
PRAISE GOD
Isn't it WONDERFUL? I love the windows open so the fragrance of the Orientals can come in & surround me. Never mind the colors are all wrong, they're short & the bunnies got 1/2 of them--the ones that made it are worth the wait!
Just beautiful, Wanda!!
A few more of my Tom Pouce decided to show their beautiful faces today.
sigh. Tom Pouce was invited to my garden, but never woke up from his winter sleep. Replacement bulbs will come this fall. Yours is lovely...
My Tom ,
never awaken either . ? not very good when
(0 ) out of ten bulbs , not an one came up ?
I was looking forward to MeroStar and a bunch of other Orientals that somehow got past the bunnies & the frost. This group is all Stargazers so far. Pretty, but noit what I planted. Looks like i planted over 50 colors & got 10. Oh well, such is life.
Sorry I am late in getting here... I was unavoidably detained... but I managed to get through it all and everyone here is still safe... I did not harm one person (j/k) and I can still smile... ;)
All mine bloomed while I was not able to get here... ain't that the way it goes?
But for your amusement: Here is a frog named Ralph that lives in a stock tank in the cattle station...
I just have to post Tom Pouce... he was sooo fragrant and gorgeous... I got it at the tour from the MORU.... cool, huh?
Good to see you here, Starr. I was about to send out the search party again. You HAVE to quit disappearing on us like that.....I'm gonna get an ulcer worrying about you! LOL
I love the pic of Ralph! That's priceless! And Tom ain't bad either. LOL Love it!
Notice she only takes pics of 'the boys'? ;)
