I added a link back to your post about Midnight, Lorn. You don't need to ask us if it is ok to edit but you should always post a new comment to let people know, (like you did) and include a link back to the post you are referring to. Otherwise folks who have already viewed it once won't know about the edit.

Lorn is right about showing us a good photo of the foliage, it is not the same on all lilies! If it is a species I would like to see a photo of the leaves that show the veins.

It is also very helpful, especially for one's first submission of a cultivar photo, to make it one that shows a bloom just opened, face on, showing the stigma uncontaminated by pollen. The stigma is part of the color description of lilies. It is also really helpful to have a photo of the whole plant, or at least the upper part to see how the blooms ore oriented. Once a first photo is accepted, I really don't spend any time researching future image proposals for the same plant.

Leon, I will enter your photos of Altari (confirmed by Jo Ann) and Boogie Woogie (confirmed by Lorn). I didn't think Boogie Woogie would develop such a bright yellow color. I grew it and it was more of a light creamish color and never got a pink edge either.

Regarding those purple OTs: I'll never buy another one (speaking with my wallet here).

Regarding Trebbiano: Has anyone here purchased this from B&D Lilies and if so which version did you get? On their website they show and describe the light colored one. It isn't registered or if it is it isn't published yet.
