A trumpet from the stock of Ed McRae, purchased a few years back from the Pacific Northwest Lily Society, affectionately known as PNWLS.

Beautiful!

Someone asked the difference between trumpets and aurelians. Can you explain it Tracey? Or is there none?

Aurelians are a Trumpet crossed with L. henryi which is why they have that 'starburst' in the throat.

Thank you!

I asked the qiestion.
One more Q Then the Aurelians always have a colored throat?

Not sure I know the answer to that one.

A rock solid McRae trumpet from PNWLS.

Here is my 'Midnight'.....don't you love that deep dark color

It's so dark...even the reverse is Midnight black...

UHHHHH Huhhhhh!

Oh yes... 'the deepest, darkest shade of purple' ~ outstanding!

Disappointing. But still beautiful.

I have definitely decided I need more trumpets and aurelians.

Gorgeous Sunwolf

Love it. Sort of like Awesome.

I'll have to take your word for it, damn rabbits ate Awesome

Bad luck here with Awesome too. I think it rotted. Send up a little stem, then disappeared. I need to dig around and find out what's left underground. Henry's Surprise is a no show from my Fall plantings too. Wonder if the suprise is that it doesn't grow the first year??

I had Henry's Surprise for a couple years before I lost it. May not have survived the move.

Nice pics everyone.
