Lilium 'Pearl Jessica' Imposter
Icon for preview
Prev
Lilium (Historical)
NOIDs
Asiatic (c/c) cultivar. Doesn't match the true 'Pearl Jessica', but is likely another known cultivar that was sold into Australia. Ploidy is unknown. I am suspicious that it may be what is sold in Australia as 'Pink Flavour' (or perhaps the Asiatic 'Pink Dream'), but need to obtain this cultivar to check. August 16, 2016: Obtained plant (Purchased as 'Pearl Jessica' from Bunnings. Bloomin' Bulbs was the supplier.)
August 16, 2016: Potted up
September 11, 2016: Plant emerged
November 25, 2016 - December 1, 2016: Bloomed (Two blooms on a short stem.)
March 5, 2017 - March 30, 2017: Entered Dormancy
September 28, 2017: Plant emerged
December 6, 2017 - December 14, 2017: Bloomed (Two blooms on a short stem. Pretty much the same as last year.)
March 17, 2018 - March 31, 2018: Entered Dormancy
September 27, 2018: Plant emerged
December 21, 2018 - December 31, 2018: Bloomed (Four blooms.)
May 4, 2019 - May 25, 2019: Entered Dormancy
September 9, 2019 - September 14, 2019: Plant emerged (Baby stem came up first, followed by the main stem.)
December 3, 2019 - December 29, 2019: Bloomed (18 blooms on the one stem!)
November 21, 2021: Plant Ended (Removed, Died, Discarded, etc) (Did not return for Spring 2021.)
  Lilium 'Pink Giant' Imposter

Lilium (Historical)
NOIDs
Never got this to flower. Died twice; doesn't seem to last in pots. July 8, 2016: Obtained plant (Purchased from Golden Ray Gardens as 'Pink Giant', but knew the ID was wrong before purchasing.)
July 8, 2016: Potted up
September 16, 2016: Plant emerged (Two stems from a double-nosed bulb.)
April 25, 2017: Plant Ended (Removed, Died, Discarded, etc) (Found that the bulb was completely gone. The stems had died back somewhat earlier than the others, so I suspect it is more susceptible to moisture.)
July 17, 2017: Obtained plant (Purchased again from Golden Ray Gardens - giving it one more chance.)
July 18, 2017: Potted up
October 6, 2017: Plant emerged
June 17, 2020: Plant Ended (Removed, Died, Discarded, etc) (Never came back up. Doesn't seem to last in pots.)
