Tango Lilies

(Zone 6a)

Hey Everyone I just thought I'd share some of my Tango Lilies form last summer!

Steven

This one was my favorite! 'Halloween'
the center area of the flower is almost black and the tips of the petals are orange! It was very striking!

I had a peach coloured tango as well, but it looks like I didn't get any pictures of that one!

What's different about a Tango lily? Is that some type I've never heard of? Different than an Oriental or LA, etc? I have to agree the photos of these are cool!

I love tango lilies. I've been going them for about two years. You are correct the red one is starburst or olina (not sure of spelling). I also have Dot com, Cappuccino or Burgundy splash, and Honey Bee or Grafitty or Son of Syndie. I found it depends where you purchase the lilies as to what they call them. McGlory - the tango series is in the asiatic lily family. They are called tango because of their coloring.

notmartha, I really like both those lilies! What is the fist one called?
The second one reminds me of a creamsicle!

Starburst IS my favorite tango, I hope you find it!

Dori, your "Electric" lily looks like my Asiatic "Starburst" Lily I got from Buggy Crazy. I just love that lily... ;)
