Whooo Hoooo it's lily time. My little martagon is just opening now. Asiatics are booming. GORJUS glads ge. I have some in a container this year. Hope they don't fry before they bloom.

Gladiolus x hortulanus 'Mon Amour' - Opened yesterday

Susan, I've not noted any fragrance from Yellow Blaze. It is definately my last Asiatic to bloom, opening 6-29 first and still hanging in there.
Also, thanks all for complements on July garden border.

Jack...You know I love orange! Yummm! Kim...lovely pastel.

Jack, your pics all drew gasps from me! Love that yard shot, and the leopard lilies are stunning!

JoAnn, have you ever heard of the Glamini Glads that Van Bourgondien sells? They're supposed to be really short, I'm curious if info is correct on those too. Seems like Polly and NYRita were getting some, but I haven't heard anything about how they did.

Crocosmia Lucifer, nice hummingbird magnet. Little Amorphophallus Konjac to right.


Emberglow ready to go. Z. albomaculata to left background


Yellow Noid Calla finished last week


Pink Noid. Finally the tubers have enough size. Beware of big box store bulbs.

Schwarzwalder-not a spathe


Mutant leaf and inflorescence

Amazing, Evan! Do you have that amorphophallus in a pot in the ground?

nice lucifer shot

I had glamini glads a couple of years ago and they were luvly. I still had to stake them though.

That's just the rim of a broken birdbath. Helps me remember where the baby konjac tubers are.

That's a great use of a leftover material. I have konjac planted with a seeded columbine that was in the pot when a friend gave the bulbs to me. Love the tall pink columbine, but like the more formal look the bb rim seems to give your garden.

Black Beauty and July Snow

Peruvian Daffodil

Neal I didnt know about Glaminies.
Polly has them.I think she said her's were shorter.B&B 's are supposed to measure between 12 and 24 inches. I guess they mean the leaves without the flower spike.

I am making a note to get Glaminies next year.

ge mine were 18" - 24" inches including flower spikes. I measured them as I was trying to match heights in one border. Hope this helps

Pineapple lily

Which ecomis is that one, Jack! It's beautiful..You know I adore them:))

I'll have to look it up. I may not get to that until after I return from Houston.

Not a problem. Until then, I'll enjoy the cool picture.
