My asiatic lilies have just started to bloom & I'm trying to ID the lilies I've purchased through the years.
I want to finally know what I have that has grown & what I don't have. I think I have ID the following lilies correctly but please advise if I'm wrong. I would appreciate your help. The first two lilies I believe are Lollypop & Jacqueline.
Thanks,

Looks like you have the names right. Glad you've shared your pics!
Very nice. :)
Jacqueline might be in question. It isn't a registered lily so there is some discrepancy as to who is the real Jacqueline.

are just 2 examples of lilies sold as Jacqueline.
Ok, call it Jackie for short. :)
It sure doesn't detract from the beauty of the lily, after all, a lily by any name......................
Looks like 'Jaqueline' to me.
I agree it has a very close resemblance to the pollen less Jacqueline, It might have a few more spots than the linked one. I know this lily fades quickly. It also has been sold as 'Sweet Kiss' which is registered.
I am so impressed with your abilities to id plants by their blooms. They are beautiful by any name.
Sue is a smart cookie. :)
Most of the time I feel a little crumbled ^_^
Yeah, but we know better. Moby is right, Sue is one smart cookie! :) She knows her stuff!
Thanks for your help. Sue really does know her stuff. You have a perfect name llilyfan. My Jackie certainly does fade fast. Through the years I've kept track of all the lilies I've purchased. I looked them all up in the plant files on DG. Now I'm trying to ID the ones that have grown. I'm finding that I'm learning so much about lilies by just doing this. I'm also finding that my wish list is growing by leaps & bounds, as I look at the lilies that you all have. When I look at a lily I just have to smile-that anything can be that beautiful. I wish to thank all of you again I've learned so much from this forum. You are all so very helpful.

There are a number of us who delight in enabling ^_^ and many who are so much more knowledgeable when it comes to lilies than myself, but I do LOVE my LILIES.

You're way too humble, dear.
How do you blush online?
