Spring Bulbs - Pictures and Discussion - Part VIII

I believe summer doesn't officially begin (and Spring end) for another 3wks!

I have my firsts lily bloom today! Gotta bug my DH to down load the pictures now.

T, I feel so silly about alliums. My area is too hot for them, but I didn't know that when I dropped some bucks on 3-4 of these. They went crispy on me so quickly! I was able to transplant one to a shaded area, but it has disappeared.

Yours are beautiful.

I got pictures! Here's the first asiatic lily of the season (for me).

And a gorgeous iris - Batik.

Tammy, the Asiatic looks like 'Lollipop'. Mine are just showing small buds.
Any problems with the little red beetles?
Pretty.

I've got one! Nectaroscodum

Sideways on? But so beautifully presented kb!

Tammy I love the Batik.

No, from the bottom up! They are downward facing, so I put the camera up and I wasn't under that, so I just hoped I aimed it right!

most definitely a photo contest entry.

that is really a COOL PICTURE Kbaumle. Really cool.

No little red beetles that I've seen Andy. Should I be looking?
I got the lilies in a naturalizing mix.

We're in a heat wave here! Another few lilies popped open today.

ARGH!!! I had not heard of these. No sign of them but I have lilies all over my
property! I'll keep my eyes out for them now.

Freesia force well if you can grow them nice and cold. They bloomed for me in a sunny, chilly, windowed front room -- the kind that's on the second story, over the porch -- in Arlington, MA. I kept the windows open a crack at the far end of the room, where I was forcing pots of hyacinths, trying for 40 degrees at that end and 60 at the other. Great for freesia and anemones, too cold for morning glories.

Regroup, mates!
