I have but a few Oriental lilies. This one is 'Enjoy' from the Lily Garden:


My all time favorite Oriental (speciosum hybrid) is Summer's End strain. It has returned year after year; always strong. I wish it was still offered:

Yum... I wish Summer's End was available too.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand-basket?

Summer's End is a beauty and I wish they would bring back another one that I love, 'Journey's End'.

Here's a few from this morning. It is amazing what a couple of cool nights can do to color! Thank you heat break!

A double oriental that I was sure I tossed out, but I guess I never got to it. Not looking too bad.
'Magic Star'

'Heart Factor' in its second year, much larger flowers than year one.

Thanks! You know I love them. I just wish they all lasted longer around here. Still, they are worth growing, just their pure beauty and fragrance.

Pretty! Little buddy in there looks like he was sleeping--legs all stretched out so peacefully. Bet he thought he was in heaven 'till you came along. Great picture!
