I don't think there is any way to describe the scent in the air as I stepped out of my rig upon my arrival at Mak's place. Can you say lilies as far as the eye can see? And all luscious oriental lilies of all forms, row after row. I noted that some visitors could not help but sniff as many as they could in the time allotted. These folks found themselves driving back to the Portland area with yellow faces. Hope no one got stopped for any reason!
The first photo here is a field view, just awesome .
I decided to start with the greenhouse. I was joined by the lady who chairs the lily bulb sales sponsored by the Lily Study Group (formerly the Pacific Northwest Lily Society, PNWLS). Note the very tall lily in the background. I saw some ridiculously tall lilies in the green house.
Here are some closeups of some of the hundreds of lilies in the greenhouse.
All of the lilies grown in the greenhouse are in shallow bulb crate type of containers.
