Hi, I am visitor from New Zealand and I am really keen on visiting any lily gardens-commercial or otherwise. Am on a motorcycle trip riding from Fargo , ND to Minneapolis, MN; but having said that I am flexible in where to go. We leave this area on the 13th to Los Angeles for a couple of days. Was hoping that there are some botanical gardens or the suchlike with a variety of lilies. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Am guessing from info that I have read on the internet that the Orientals are just coming out- I have been looking around the Fargo Moorhead areas and have not had much luck in spying any lilies at all! Thanks very much for any help / leads you can give me.

Sadly, the lilies are pretty much over with in Utah by now. It's very hot and dry there these days.

I just got back from visiting my kids in Salt Lake and even their daylilies are winding down in the summer heat.

I hope you have several months to tour around the US, Kathryn. There's a lot to see in the way of gardens. If you start in the northern tier states, you could finish up in Florida by December.

Thank you very much Elaine and Jean! Kathryn
