Wow! Those 'Boitzer' blooms sure look nice.

the hybridizer is Gerald Hohls, a very nice man

His own registered cultivars can be found here: http://www.boitzer-taglilien.d...

I can just imagine a large clump of 'Rain of Stars' in my garden.

!

I bought a DF last year
Hopefully it will grow fast and flower this summer

I will try to remember to take a photo of the blooming clump in Gerald's garden when I go there this summer

hi Hilary!!
I'm on this side too
The Netherlands, in my case

Are there a lot of DL vendors in the UK?

Will probably bring home 'several' more ...

I can't import DL's from the US, but you can buy plants from over here, can't you?


Mayo

Yes we can import them. It's a little pricey between the currency exchange and the phyto but sometimes an addict's gotta do, what an addict's gotta do!

Three I just planted today.




The first is for my collection of the late Australian breeder, Nunan.

The second is by the Australian breeder Waring, now retired, which are hard to obtain.

The third was so I spent enough to get a bonus plant, which they must have forgot or I got the amount wrong.

I had only one space left and I filled it with the addition of Thin Man.

My name is Mayo and I'm a DL addict..
I couldn't help myself (again...) when I visited a nursery's website today...

So, I'll be expecting to receive to following DL's this week

I thought with the order I received yesterday I'd be done, but there is one showing up on the Lily Auction - cheap - that's sitting on the wish list. When the sale price gets that low, I'm almost afraid not to get it. If it's a washout, not much lost, but it may also mean that it will be hard to find because there isn't any profit in handling it. But so far I haven't put in the bid. Here are what is here for 2016 so far, including bonus plants. So what's one more!!?

Looking great, Donald!!

Did you get clumps, DF's, SF's...?

Last Autumn I ordered a lot of SF's, but I'm not going to do that again..
It's what you all said before: DF's (and clumps ofcourse) are establishing and blooming much faster!

Almost none of my SF's have scapes


Mayo

@Mayo62
Mayo, I got one SF as a bonus plant and one as a trade, but everything else was DF or more. The one yesterday arrived as a 6 fan plant and for the first time ever I split it into DF and 4F divisions because of the size containers I had to start them with. I have to say, though, that I've had really good luck with SFs. 'Navajo Narrative' arrived as a SF and it is blooming now and is also a DF at this point. I thought growing them in containers they wouldn't increase too fast, but I'm thinking some have already outgrown the containers and probably need thinning. I know on those where the potting mix had a lot of shrinkage, there is a difference in growth and scape height on those where I managed to replenish the mix and about half dozen that I didn't get done. It looks like that won't effect the number of scapes, but will effect the height. If they go another year, I think it would probably cut into blooms. I don't know what I'm going to do with the excess, though. You can come help me and take home all the extras .

Ahh, don't tempt me!
I would have to smuggle them into the EU in my underwear or something and I'm getting too uhm.. 'mature' for silly things like that



Mayo

Wow. We surely had some gorgeous blooms today. Thank you for posting.

Mayo, I'm right there with you. I gave about 5 dozen DL to my club for the annual auction last week and I'm still out of room.

Here are some from today:
Elven Elegance (one of the first blooms ever), Eyed Alligator - FFO


Get Off My Tutu, Glorious Autumn (FFE - First Flower Ever)


Kay Day - FFO, Once Upon a Dream - FFO


Message in A Bottle - a new intro. from Dan Hansen. I love the little ruffles.


Rosabelle Van Valkenburgh - FFO, Unidentified double - FFO. Does anyone have a guess?


Yoga Man - getting deeper color now


Pollen tray - I'll keep these in the fridge tonight and will have fresh pollen ready for tomorrow a.m. I won't have to wait for pollen to ripen that way.

@lalambchop1 - wow, I love that Glorious Autumn bloom!

DND I love that one. It hits the ground running.

I love Glorious Autumn too. It acts as a dormant here (= all leaves die away). I lost one of the two clumps last year. But I have moved it into a new large bed this week hoping for a good display this season. Fingers crossed.

I'll hope for you, too, Glen!
