Just got done doing a check on the lilies. The ones i planted last year are doing really good. Seems that they all multiplied.

In the new bed i made this year, I still have a few bulbs that are just now poking their noses up. I planted 2 'giraffe' bulbs, but only one has come through. Then another spot I planted 3 bulbs and only 2 have come up. I guess that's gardening. A few that I ordered from places not as reputable, it seems like the leaves on some don't match up with the plant next to it, though they should be the same. Have to wait for them to bloom to know for sure. And it really is quite amazing how much a bulb can travel. I planted all bulbs in a group of 3 and in a triangular grouping. Some do not look like that anymore. But then again, some are putting up multiple stems. Looks like there will be some work to do in the fall.

Today's tour of the garden yielded several new lilies in bloom. I'll load pics later...seems I've aggravated some wrist problems in my zeal to take control back from the weedy wilds...

Dave,
My neighbor planted a bunch of new lilies and same problem with two out of three coming up.

Jmorth,
I hope your wrist heals. That's a setback.

The variety of color offered in the asiatic area is diverse. Just look at those pictures. So much color, so beautiful. Nice Susan

with mags. Nice lilies!

I really like the pearl Jessica

The Pearl Series originating from Dr. Griesbach are all tetraploid asiactic lilies. All do fabulous in garden situations too.

Striptease is hard to get so it shows the white marks.

I got Red Planet from Buggy Crazy many year's ago, used to have Plum Peach (from Lisa too); it was definitely in my very or most top favorites category.
Nice selections Susan.

Susan,
I've heard of a couple of those. LOVE all of them!

Thank you for posting all these beauties - I am feeding my longing for Liliums with your pictures.

I didn't think anything in the garden of lilies was close to blooming...
Surprise here we are!

Nice soft colors Tracy.

Oooohh, love Ambrosia, Tracey!

Jmorth, I used to grow Orange Pixie and your NOID orange certainly looks like it.
