In July, mainly our night temps have been in the high 70s and low 80s. Daytime temps high 80's to lower 90s. The last 6 days and nights have been significantly cooler. Nighttime temps in the 50s and day as high as mid 70s. It has made a huge difference in the color of lilies blooming right now. Such a treat! Temperatures seem to be a significant factor in color. Here are random lily images from this morning. Orientals show more pink enhancement and spotting, depth of color in all lilies much more pronounced. My lilies never look like this! Truly a gift
