Hi
Sorry i dont know that much about Lilies...............
Could you tell me firstly if this is a lily and if it is what is it??????
Its in a pot outside my house and for the life of me i dont know anything about it............. or even where i got it. Its just sat there for a couple of years!
Mark
Yes, it is a lily. The green near the center and the shape, makes me think it might be an Asiatic named Navona, but it could be many others.

Hi Susan
Aha, thank you very much indeed for that............................... quite a pretty one whatever it is!!!!!!!!
Thank you for the link................
Mark
You're welcome! Watch out, lilies can be very addictive. Here is American Style, one I enjoyed last summer.
Susan
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see why they could be addictive........................... But then so are my crocosmia!!!
Thank you forshowing me that one............................ How big is it, it looks quite big but photos are deceptive i know!!
Mark
That one got about 7 ft tall last summer and the blooms are maybe 8" in daimeter. I looked at your beautiful crocosmia. Fantastic, but I don't think they would like the weather in Nebraska.
Susan
Oh wow 7ft tall........................... oooooooooooooooo sounds lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Probably wouldnt like the weather much there................... shame isnt it.........!
Although some are hardy little devils........
Mark
So, is that poor little lily tucked into a clump of daylilies?
Yes that poor little lily IS tucked in amongst a load of lilies.............. but not daylilies, well maybe one!!!!
Mark, many of the Oriental/Trumpet lilies (like the one Susan posted) are reported to tolerate a wide range of growing conditions, so I would'nt rule them out. Huge, showy, and sooooo fragrant- definitely worth a try! Hehehehe..... trying to tweek you into temptation, lol. As you lure others into crocosmia fascination, you'll be lured into lily fascination too!
