I knew I had a lot of lilies.Just for fun I counted stems today because Garden Party people will ask.varieties over 100,stems 514 give or take 20.Blooms is a different number altogether.
Ho'n ell did that happen.

Its like earthquakes, Jo ann,It just happens!

Bloomed today in Arcata. A seedling from Wm R. Cramer (who passed away) Asiatic seeds planted 4-03-11. Pioneer Pink x Perfect Pink

Makes me so happy to see that.. how many others do you have to bloom.. I had 4 variations, with one yet to see..I remember you said you had his cross of this,.,.

Lovely seedling!

It is a very pretty seedling. My first lily of the year opened today. Good old Lolly Pop.

Eqyptian Queen is doing well. Neither of the yarrows looks really good with it, but at least there is getting to be some color in the front bed.

I had to move two Multi Blue clematis when I had my fence installed a few weeks ago. They seemed to have tolerated the move well and are blooming right on time.

A big clump of gaillardia

Spank ooops Starven

Hmm... looks a bit different from my Spank, but does look like Denia (or Pink Pixie) which is quite short and just opened this morning

Back in 2011, I planted the following. I don't know how many will bloom of these this year. Each one had good germination and all 20 seeds were planted . (All from William R. Cramer)

Pioneer Pink x Perfect Pink
Late Clear Pink x New White Brushmark
Calender Girl x Unknown Seedling
Darkside x Unknown seedling
Darkside x Purple Redish Brushmark from fleetwing x White Flash w/ aerial bulbils
Yellow w/maroon Brushmark x New white Brushmark
Darkside x Pink Brushmark w/aerial bulbils

Several years back I purchased a few from Cramer, then in 2011 he sent me these stating he was not selling seed anymore.

Moby: Its Starven from Buggy crazy.sorry I have Spank in another garden ,just got them confused.

First to open and it opened THIS MORNING!

This is my FAVORITE asiatic lily that I have at my house!

Well, ok, so far I only have 2...
I picked this one up on impulse in the garden department at Home Depot.
It was labeled "Tiny Skyline"
The other one hasn't opened yet - it's a NOID red one.
I'm just starting my collection.
Never toss healthy bulbs in the trash - I'll pay you flat rate Priority postage for them!

Remind us come Fall.

Parisienne

critter: That sure looks like Tiny Skyline.
I have it too so strong in color,it really pops in the garden.

I love a strong orange!
AND a strong purple.
Those, with all the different greens that foliage appears in, make my eyes very happy in the garden!

Jack,You were very lucky to get so many seeds, I only managed to get 'the first one'....His growing and breeding techniques assure these bulbs will be around for a long time
