Moby, I don't think there are any rules about backyards here. Open fields are controlled and if the owner doesn't cut by a certain date the city will and then bill for it. There is a field like that just a block from me, where an investor started to put in 8 homes but then the recession hit and it has been abandoned. The cul de sac is in and all of the utilities, but essentially still a field. Fortunately it seems to get cut in a timely manner.
The more I look at the mess out there in my backyard the more inclined I am to just throw everything out, cover it all with a tarp and wait for a better day (or year or decade, who knows). I really think it is getting beyond saving.
Anyway here are a few more pictures tonight.
Chocolate Canary:
Another of White Flares with Carte Blanche behind, lower left. Planted just this spring so not too beefy yet:
Ice Caves; not much in the way of green iside but reverse is green without other color contamination:
Nice Asiatic seedling from Cascade, GH-A-14, pastel with bulbils. I did some crosses with it last year and have seedlings going:
I'm really pleased with Terni (LO); it took a couple of years to really get going. Large, sturdy blooms and the best white I have seen outside of some orientals.
Another of my established Carte Blanche. I like this one but not very fertile.
A couple more of Silver Scheherazade:
Madame Butterfly (OT); I don't think this is on the market anymore. It has grown very well for me.
Here is a better photo pf Pink Champagne showing the many bulbils:
Blood Tiger, always competing with Devil's Tears phygelius:
No pink edge on Pink Flares strain this year (Judith Freeman):
Pink Jazz:
Miss Libby (OT):
Bonbini was a no show last year but is back in fine form now:
New this year and last for tonight, Holland Beauty. I consider this one as one of the better lilies of this color type. Nicely ruffled and bowl shaped:
