The lily in the background looks like Mak's Eclipse. Was it marked 'Elise'?

Lavender Gem was my first buggy lily and still my very favorite. Not sure about Honeymoon (?) it doesn't sound familiar. I really need to find the receipts from my first bulb order. Gotta be around here somewhere, lol!

If you got it from Buggy Crazy, that was another yellow OT she offered.

A list, a list, a LIST !!! You silly people! At least keep list of what you bought or planted.

Zeus. A very substantive flower. See the buds at the upper right: the petals are so thick that it looks like they gobbled up something (at least to me). Or, maybe I have my avatar on my brain Big Grin

Some people are listmakers, some aren't. I will honestly say that for a long time I cared about the beauty and not about the names so much. Now dabbling in hybridizing, names are more useful to me.

That, and I used to buy the same lily two or three times, falling in love all over again. I realized I may actually save money this way. But to each their own. Even then, I don't keep records of years bought, places bought, places planted. I use the EON tags and if something gets buried in the ground because of heavy snow, well, then, I'm out of luck.

That is true, Tracey. And I have discovered that even the "bigshots" like Mark McDonough (of Allium fame) don't always keep good records. Indeed, to each, their own. And sometimes, I'm the silly one...

I try to keep such good records on my irises. I have to, as I sell them. But then, there are my lilies, and my semps, and my lilacs. Now I've got quite a collection of mints going, and Hydrangea paniculatas, and hostas, and gosh, sometimes something just has to go. And often it's documentation, unless it's something I can do during the winter months.

Lefty, that 'Zues' Is mighty fine. I like that type of dotting/ slash pattern a lot. It kind of raises right out of the flower. It's lovely.

And even though I try to keep fairly good records out in the garden now, I still kind of stink at that whole thing. Live and learn...or at least try, right? *Blush*
