Since you all are having blooms, and I have nothing, and some of you are in colder climates than I am....obviously I need earlier blooming lilies. And I have quite a few asiatics. I do realize our late snow cover has something to do with it, but c'mon.

So please tell me your early bloomers. Thanks!

Polly I have these just opened

Martagons tend to be some of my first lilies to open, Red Russia, Pink Attraction.

For asiatics, the Tiny Series also open very early. Ad they are very easy to get a hold of

My LA's and LO's are always my first to bloom. But I'm in zone 10 so we don't really get a real winter.

Pretty, Doris!

I have Red Russia, Mags, but it's the first year.

Thanks NW15, any names you can give me of the first? I have LAs and LOs, but nothing blooming.

Any buds on Red Russia?

No, not yet. I planted it late, though, shame on me. It's looking good.

That will bloom early for you once established

Great! Thanks

Elodie opened first, then Conca d'Or

For the LA's all I have is Courier and for LO's I have Triumphator, Sea Treasure, and Pink Heaven.

Thank you both.

I don't have Elodie or Sea Treasure. I will look into those.

Don't have photos of the Conca d'Or but the Elodie was from this year.

Lovely!

Asiatic Pixie series

First to open was Strawberry Custard.



There is another one starting to bloom but I can't ID it yet. It doesn't look like any of the ones I ordered this year so possibly from last years group.


They are slow opening here which is probably a good thing

Thank you Jack.

Thanks Julia.

After the marties, the earliest for me are Doeskin, Denia, Kill Me Kate, Solar Flare, Summer Night, Tropical Dream...

Edit: That would be KISS Me Kate

Kill Me Kate?

Freudian slip?
