this lily is new to me this year and I just love the color and bloom...
perrys fire opal
This is a hardy believe it or not. My first year with it. The bloom has perfect form and is rather large.
I understand that "bug" all too well :)
Well if you're looking for other colors, maybe I'll have one you would like when it's time to divide the lilies. This is my first year as a 'pond ponderer'. I have several 'named' ones, and many unknown ones that I got cheaply off of ebay at end of the year clearances. I got some tropicals for 7$ apiece and some hardy ones for 5$ apiece, so I took a gamble and won't know what they are until next year. But it's fun! I have them all growing in a large heated tub of water in the greenhouse.
I know I have:
Colorado (Beautiful!)
Wood's White Knight - tropical and beautiful pure white
Lemon Chiffon
Attraction
Alba
Pygmea rubra
Arc en ceil
I also have Water Hawthorne and I just love it! It just blooms and blooms! It goes a little dormant when it gets really hot, then when it cools off it starts blooming again just as the lilies are on their way out.
When it's time to divide yours, keep me in mind!
Here's Wood's White Knight
be glad to keep you in mind for next year :)
