I am posting this rant on the Horrer thread because that is what Lollipop Lilies are to me.
I had 3 trumpet lilies in a collection from B&D lilies.Planted 3 years ago 1 was tru the other 2 were not but I kept the yellow and melon colored ones because they went well together.Last fall I ordered Midnight a deep purple to go with the golds and melon.
The 3 came up and I watched to see they didnt get shaded out by the OP's in front.
As they developed I noticed leaves on 1 were different.Sure enough this AM it bloomked"Lollipop" the curse of my life.I couldnt believe such a cruel joke.

Now I'm going to have to rethink the irises I send as bonuses. Is Shall We Dance taking over the iris world. I never thought about that.

You could always post your Lollipops in the giveaway/sales section. They don't multiply here much, certainly not too crazy. I think the differences in soil conditions and growing conditions can make all the difference. In fact, ge, I'm jealous of your circumstances Sticking tongue out

Pollyanna. These came from a co-op and I started out with about 7 of them. Should be a really big clump in another year.

New Wave I think came from the same co-op and I ended up with it in 3 places. Nice shorter white. The plant with it here is an annual coreopsis called Ruby Frost.

Thanks Moby, but it's mostly fortunate accidents. Most things anymore just go where a space is.
