A race was on , with some Greisbach seedlings or pendant Penghana..Penghana won .Official 1st bloom in my nursery in Tazzie👍

Congratulations Anthony. It looks like it has a great bud count too.

Thank you
It's starting to get cold here no Buffalo. Got all my crosses collected. The other end of the flowering season.
Looking forward to your seedlings.

First few blooms have opened here too!

'Purple Marble':


L. pumilum from commerce:


'Sunset Matrix' struggling on (clearly I need to amend this garden bed further, as whilst nothing has gone backwards, nothing has bulked up either):

Joshua, these are great. 'Purple Marble' is one of the nicest introductions as of late I feel. Keep those gorgeous pics coming.

Great time to be alive👍

Teepookana

Beautiful! Bred by Neil Jordan as I recall. I love browsing the Cam Lily site during our winter months... need to go check them out

Wow.,that's a nice one, even complimentary anther colors.

A few more photos today!

More 'Purple Marble':


L. pumilum:


Small bulb of my 'Mapira' X 'Tiny Rocket' seedling:

A couple more open yesterday and today:

'Eros' (two bulbs; the first bloom open on one stem had malformed anthers, whilst the other was fine):



'Pink Giant' (from a different supplier this time... looks much healthier than the previous bulbs, which introduced a rather nasty virus into my collection):

Another pic of Eros, just to keep you all warm 😊

Such a beautiful lily. Elegant and graceful.

1st Regale Hybrid Trumpet out for Summer & it smells divine 💋

Royal Sunset

Strawberry Event

Purple Marble

A few more have opened in the past week.

Frustratingly, about a two-foot section of this new bed still has poor drainage (despite my efforts to amend it before planting last autumn) and so 2 out of 3 bulbs of each of these cultivars have rotted. Once autumn hits I will be digging and reworking the area.

'Yellow Bruse'


'Stracciatella Event'


'Hotel California' is looking much better in its new spot (last year it almost fried in the direct sun), but one of the stems has suffered what I think is a fungal problem.
