I ditto Ginny, Dave.

Good to hear from you Dave! Sounds like you are accomplishing quite a lot in a short amount of time. Your lilies are awesome

May you continually be blessed with success, joy and peace!

You all are too kind!.
Sharon, it's been a whirlwind year with the lilies that much is true. Never would have thought in 2-3 years I would have won best in show at NALS, 5 awards, and seed chair for NALS. Along with writing a few snippets here and there for NALS, the write ups I did for Ramona, and possibly doing a seminar on growing lilies at my local botanical garden.

But, I've also met some great people along the way! More than I could ever have imagined.

Dave,
I'm amazed at your accomplishments too, but your dedication to your lilies has shown you are worthy!

You did go a long way in a short time, impressive. Dave, the Lily King.

We're not going to have to start bowing 🙇‍♀️ To Lily King Dave are we
Seriously great job Dave

No lily king lol. But thank you both for the kind words.

Most of the new bulbs got planted. Hopefully they make next year even better. Planted some seedlings out in a bed as well.

How did you find room for all of them

I had a bed made up from a fall planting last year. I just need to fill it with soil and plant. But could have used like another 15 feet in length though.

That calls for a new bed doesn't it

Why yes it does. And this time it will be bigger then I need on propose. So I can put in more bulbs later.

I can totally relate

Gardens are a funny thing...they are full before you ever get them finished...and when you add more space to your garden...it is never enough.
Kind of like freeway construction.

Bloom season is always wonderful at your house Dave!

May everyone be blessed with a wonderful garden next year!

how true Sharon.

So true Sharon. In gardening it's always something. Lol

Ugh

Us too and I agree with your assessment- ugh
