P.S. The Madonna lily has been up for about a week now.

This is one of Pard's seedlings:

How pretty! Such a nice reverse...

I'm lovin' it, Pard. That was from your B&D 'Tropical Isle' x yellow tet from PNWLS - seed lot. Can't wait for the others to bloom next season. Thanks.

Happy Belated Birthday Tracey! Sorry I didn't see this yesterday-hope your day was wonderful.

I can only echo suzybell's sentiment -

Magnolilover--a little late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope it was fun!

Plus a strange species flower for you 'cuz I'm strange....

How sweet you are to think of me Wanda. I love that cute little flower!

Ohmygoodness I'm so late to the party. Have had too many household projects lately to obsess on the garden or gardening or Dave's Garden even. Happy very belated birthday Tracey! Hope you've been celebrating all month. Laura

It's a new species for me. Kind of wierd looking, but fun--- L. lancifolium tigrinum. Here's another shot of the blooms opening.

Oh, is that the double Tiger Lily? Double Tiger's are cute little guys...

it's kind of like a tiger, but slimmer with a longer & slim petals. Takes a while for the double inner portion to open. Late season bloomer.

Is it a large lily or a small lily? My double Tiger's are small.

This species bloom is about 4 -5 inches across. Decent sized. I could see it blooming against a back fence from the house this summer.

No, my double Tiger is maybe two inches wide.. Maybe.

Is yours a L. lancifolium? L.henryi have smaller blooms.

My L. pardalium has the 2 inch blooms with heavy red on them & whorled foliage.

This is what it is.. :)

L. lancifolium tigrinum is a goofy name, and I'll venture, invalid. L. tigrinum was an old name for the Tiger lily, before it change to L. lancifolium. Wanda, yours looks like
Lilium lancifolium 'Flore Pleno'

There are a lot of hybrid "Tiger" lilies with wider petals on the market, and in different colors too, I might add. Yours looks to me like the standard lancifolium 'FP'. Lancifolium only comes in one color - orange.

I received some bulbils of same this summer from a gardener in Madison. Her flowers had 5 well formed hoses. They were blooming when we were there, Aug 3.
