Thank you Moby!

Don't worry Jo, I'm always confused, so you're a step above me.

Landini in the rain

That is fantastic.
More Landini goes on next years list.

Now that I don't have a grandchild hanging over my every word, I can say my plan is to plant my granddaughter a row of lilies for cutting in the iris sale beds, and I wanted to intermingle them so that there should be something in bloom most of the time. So thanks for the info, Moby.

My granddaughter is seven, and she loves to cut lilies for my house and hers. Unfortunately when she does sometimes they don't come back, so I got some bulbs at a good price and she wll be able to cut them, and I won't be concerned. And maybe my more expensive ones will survive.

I went to the florist yesterday to get her a bouquet for getting her black belt, and a stalk of an asitic was 6.00! She got carnations, baby's breath and greens for 2.80.

Sweet

It doesnt matter what your age is.
Flowers give a thrill.
She is so sweet,Polly.

Awwwww, sweet, Polly.

Thanks everyone!

Asiatics Orange art and Bali Hai

Sometimes a mirror is useful for capturing those 1c Asiatic lilies. This is an Ed McRae seedling.

For those of you that aren't familiar with lily form designations, 1c = downfacing, 1b = outfacing and 1a = upfacing.

Glad you posted that.

Thanks Pard, all the more info you can include, the better, anytime.

Here are five different examples of Harlequin Hybrids. The Harlequins were sold in the 1950 Oregon Bulb Farm catalog, according to the Lily Register.

Side view of Harlequins. Will try to get better pics this year, taking into account the new format here.

Bellingham hybrid. Technically, not an Asiatic, but a hybrid from Western North American species L. humboldtii, L. pardalinum and L. parryi. The Bellingham hybrids date back to around 1933. Thanks again to JRsbugs for this one.
