A double nose dwarf Henryi type--about 15 inches, or 35-40 cm tall. Photos are not the best.

Night Flyer is almost black in the center.

Where can I get Ceres and Night Flyer?

stilldew said:Lovely Silk Road. I really like your downward facing yellow ones Dave. You will have to let us know the name when you can get out.

Arctic Ice is one of those white with a lot of green when it first opens. I like it a lot
Lemon Sauce
Midnight Trumpet
Royal Sunset

Where might I find Arctic Ice?

You guys are starting out early this year. Your Aug. 6th is our Feb. 6th in the northern hemisphere.

I think you mean August Lorn. Are you using the small henryi in your breeding?

Sure do! Thanks!

The short henryi is more or less just a novelty.

Playtime

My soil is too alkaline,and maybe too much sun? Must fix

Hi Ken: Your first two pictures are of Casa Rosa, a Longiflorum Oriental (LO). They're hard to find in the marketplace so be good to it. I have it growing here--in my little Granddaughter's garden. Here are some pictures of it and there's also some pictures of it in the data base.










Playtime does best in dappled afternoon shade. Yours looks like it may be too wet where its at, otherwise it looks OK to me .

Casa Rosa is not an easy lily - Usually on the 2nd/3rd day , the bloom splits and drops a petal..

This years last seedlings. It's been a exiting year with many exiting seedlings in my garden. Looking foreward to more of them next year. The first picture are a Charles Kroell seedling.

All of them very interesting to me. Excellent photos. Can't decide which one I like best; they are all nice!

This is a Longiflorum-L. henryi hybrid I got from The Lily Nook in Canada. It's kind of ugly by itself and when viewed up close. But from a short distance, it kind of grabs your attention and looks pretty neat. I imagine this lily would look nice planted with greenery such as ferns. Notice I have it placed by a bunch of L. henryi mixes for open pollination. I did cross pollenate it with George C. Creelman and Serena Green, both ways. Excuse the pollen stains, the birds stirred it up pretty good while they raped the place.





Clones

Thanks for the ID Lorn. I have been slowly adding some different color lilies with different bloom times to my flower beds. When I moved here...all I had was orange lilies and yelow daylilies that the homeowner left. Very pretty... but I need more color. Oh yeah....yellow irises also.

Awesome lilies everyone... I enjoy all the photos posted.

Øystein the seedlings with curly petals are particularly beautiful, though honestly they are all very nice. Thanks for sharing them.

Well, my lily is pretty plain vanilla as far as 'lineage' goes, but I surely do like it. it opened today.

Tiramasu from TLG

I really like that one Mary Stella.

I suspect the lineage is far from plain vanilla and rather complex instead due to the combination of chevrons AND spots. It is a very special and beautiful lily. I doubt that you will find a pattern like that anywhere else in the orienpet genre.

Hmmm. I will have to go look. BonBini is similar, but a very pale version; but you are right - no spots. Playtime is similar, has dots, but while it has flares, no chevrons. You may be right. I think this is one that TLG developed themselves. I lucked out and bought it first year out and it was sold quickly and then not offered the next year. I have two and guard them with my -- uh, trowel.

It indeed was hybridized by Judith Freeman of the Lily Garden. I hope it will be offered again someday. Take good care of yours!
