Since Tracey or I have to open the forum by starting a thread, and I have no lily pictures to post, I'll start by asking to see any photos you have of mixed borders that have lilies in them. Thanks.

Polly, no pics of Lilies? Shame on you!...do you have any idea how left out they must feel when you're out there snapping shots of all those Irises! LOL

I've yet to find a plant that doesn't look good with Lilies!

Lilies belong everywhere in my gardens....

Lilies don't mind being crowded and take up so little space since they are vertical. Hard not to love them

Thanks Neal and Wanda. That's what I wanted. Just beautiful. OK, poppies, I've got poppies, just wintersowed them. And I see a lot of daylilies in Wandas. Just getting an idea of what really looks nice with the lilies.

Neal, I was so sick of taking iris pictures the last couple of years, I didn't take picture of much anything else.

I put bearded iris in the front & way back rows . Lilies can tower over them & still not mess up their air flow.

My tall lilies go in back rows with mums, phlox, tall asters, cannas, tall yarrow, clematis (on the fence), liatris, & whatever.

shorter lilies blend with daylilies, baloon flowers, speedwell, yarrow, daisies,snapdragons, zinnias, etc, etc.

Most Lilies like their feet shaded and heads in the sun. They are wonderful in mixed border gardens.

I see some sedum there, too. I have quite a bit of sedum with my lilies.

Lovely, Wanda.

I've had the privilage of seeing Wanda's garden in person and these pictures, tho nice, do not do it justice.

I will second that about Wanda's garden. It is stunning. It's perfectly weeded and nicely organized. I could learn a lot about garden planting from Wanda

Oh Mags, you don't do to bad yourself, deary..

From July

From June of last year. Campanula Bernice with Rosepoint Lace.

jmorth, those are beautiful lilies. Which ones are they? Wow!

Donna, what a great combo! I do need to get some campanula.

Oh Donna, those are nice.

Scheherazade - lilies from July above...

Lilies have to be the most co-operative flowers in the world to photograph. All of you have lovely gardens. These are also Scheherazade on both sides of my front arbor.

The tall lily near the center here is Leslie Woodriff. Last fall I dug it up and found I had about 8 large bulbs and moved 6 of them to a new location nearer my deck. The photo was taken in Mid July, when my garden gets to be a riot of colors.

Thanks Polly and Diann. I love campanula, and over the years bought and seeded dozens that had problems Campanula persificolia died out. So did glomerata (supposedly invasive - ha!). Pyramidalis and medium are both lovely but they are sometimes biennial and sometimes perennial - if they make it through winter. But Bernice is tough - and really gorgeous.

Such beautiful gardens you guys! You make me long for spring even more than I do already
