Hey, we can toggle the pictures back and forth now
My lily gardens resemble a vegetable garden set out in rows 30 inches wide where the primary objective is to hybridize and grow seed. Appearance for beauty has no value here and weeds are not a concern by reasonable control with mulch.
We do have a peanut shaped mixed lily garden by the north driveway entrance about 40 X 15 feet packed full of commercials just for show. A few each of many cultivars in there for a summer long display. Average residency is 3 years and out with very few high seniority lilies in there. A crowded mass planting that's hard to keep clean and a recipe for disaster as far as disease goes. But everybody loves it, so we try to keep it going.
