Thanks for starting us off, Anthony. Looks like you already have some nice stuff in bloom.

My first Lilium for the season opened a day or so ago:


There's also more on the way with a few other buds starting to colour up. I am particularly looking forward this one, though:

Bought it as 'Pearl Jessica' (which it clearly wasn't when it flowered) a few years ago and have only ever had 2-4 flowers from it. Clearly I did something right last year (I think it's a combination of its new location - I moved its pot early in the season last year - plus more food and compost), as this year it has 18 buds on it!
