June 11 Blooms

Latvia

The "real" Pink Spring. I posted a photo a few days ago of what I thought was Pink Spring, but when this one bloomed, I realized the other one was either a very pale Ceres or a mislabeled bulb. Spring Pink is a tiny one.

Peach Pixie has an interesting blend of colors.

Pink unknown. It was a mislabeled one from a co op.

Avignon surrounding Tinos

Nice selections! I love 'Pink Spring'. Oh heck, I love all of them. Does your 'Latvia' multiply like crazy? The one I have does. It's just one of those plants that loves where it lives and is so happy it doubles each year, the number of stalks. I dug some up for my neighbor last year and what should happen? I have twice as many still, even after giving many away!
Your pink unknown has a nice rich color. I like that!
Mine here are slowly starting.....

unknown (you'll have to forgive the dirty thumbnail)

'Tinos' is a cute one. One of my favorite finds last year. I scaled it and have quite a few now.

Nice unknown , jmorth. It looks familiar, but the name escapes me right now.

This is another unknown...I originally posted it a few days ago. On the map I maintain of my garden there are 2 names where the above two lilies reside. I googled a bit but was unable to find either name associated with either of the two so posted. One name indicated was Fireking, the other was Venture. I was wondering is anyone could verify one or the other.

I found a photo of Venture here:

I found 'Venture' here too. I think post # 3601987 is 'Venture'. I bought it last year from Buggy Crazy.

Venture would be the dark red one as that area of the garden is populated with lilies mostly from Buggy Crazy and WH Gilbert & Son. Thanks Magnolialover.

Ahhhhh, Buggy Crazy! It will soon be time again, and why is it, even with my tough lily year, I am ready to order yet more, of those wonderful bulbs? Perhaps I am the Crazy one,not Buggy!

I think she just had the power to drive us a little 'buggy'.

jmorth ~ I really like your yellow NoID, and if you didn't have dirty fingernails we might have to accuse you of having a 'hired gardener'. Oh, the shame!

Here is 'Midnight', looking more purple now that it gets all-day sun.

Nice Midnight, Moby. I just got that one last fall - can't wait til it blooms!

my tallest lily

this flower seems to have 7 pedals

a few more to go, i lost all my tags over winter. im good at that

another

another one quick

Welcome, MrEli. Nice collection you have going there. Pics 2 and 5 look like Lollypop.

Okay, my bumper crop of 'Latvia' lilies are not blooming yet, but today on my trip to my local garden place, who should I see?? A mutant double 'Latvia' bloom. I just had to get it. Isn't it cute?

Another view...

Another bloom on same stalk...

My very own L. cernuum. Planted last fall.

Mag, L. cernuum is so cute. I like the (multant) Latvia all the better. lol, I'm so envious of the zone differences! Oh, I learned something today. Formosa Lilies, in our zone, won't bloom 'til August. Here is some unknown trumpets that was taken from a tour of a local Garden that we most adore.

Jmorth, if I were to match up the two mentioned names to your unknown lilies, I'd have guessed the yellow beauty would be "Venture" and the red one would be "FireKing", it's just me I guess. I could never understand why Flame Azalea is yellow, instead of red. :-)

Love those towering trumpets. Lily_love. They are so graceful, aren't they?

Mag, these are about 5-6 feet tall, the Formosa that I mentioned, grow up to be 8 feet. Very impressive, most of all, they take our hot and humid climate here. I can't wait 'til I get some planted in my garden. :-)

Oh Mags they are all beautiful! Will that Latvia stay double?

Diann

I doubt it, Ticker. Only two blossoms opened on that plant, and the other one is regular, as shown. I will tag it 'Latvia' Double Freak and see what happens next year.
Lily_love, I purchased 'Formosa' last fall and it looks good so far. I understand it to be a short lived lily, so I started some seeds, they are also suppose to be one that could flower the first year after starting from seed. Isn't that cool?

Indeed, Mag, I also learned that Formosa will reward you quickly with their bloom the second year of growth from seeds. That's ways TOO cool!!!!

I believe it only lives one year. It flowers, sets seed and then dies. It will flower the same year as planted. Also known to be quite invasive in warm weather areas.

Here is a new one that opened today or perhaps yesterday. It was part of the Strawberries and Cream mix from White Flower Farm.... It's really lovely, even if it doesn't have it's own name..

Very nice tones to that one Ticker. I bought that mix for my mom last year and she loves hers too. I don't think she had one like that though.

Oh wow, Mags, these are old. I probably got them 10 years ago..... Still going strong.

Ticker sorts of looks like Hello Dolly to me...
