Arctic Ice and Lady Elaine
Fire Truck

Desert Song

Latvia clump
Kentucky

Freya's blooms fade after the first couple day, but remain beautiful

Samur is another one that changes color with age, but is lovely in all it's stages.

Starlette look exactly the same as Forever Susan to me. I grow both and this is Starlette.

Starlette center

My Midnight has often been a real disappointment, but with the cool weather early this week, the buds were very purple and the bloom fairly dark.

The inside of the flower today is more pink striped than purple.

Royal Sunset

The front of my house with lots of blooming lilies

Just for fun, here is a photo of the area between the street and sidewalk taken a month ago during Iris season. I have no problems growing Iris, lilies and daylilies are in the same area.

Don't know how you do it Susan, but you're a few day ahead of me. What a nice show you're putting on.

Beautiful 'Hell Strip' stilldew!! I wonder if they would survive growing in my hell strip like that.

Oh Susan, your gardens are just something to be coveted. They are so lovely. I always enjoy logging in and seeing pictures of what you have going on in your little slice of heaven.

Yeah, mine started yesterday!

'Funny Girl'


'Forever Susan'


'Red Alert' which looks 'wet', love the tinted buds too

Monte Negro is gorgeous, and I love Suncrest.

Susan, did you smell Kentucky? Mine aren't blooming yet, but I remember from last year a lovely scent. You have some beauties there, and what a gorgeous yard!

Champagne, Nettie's Pride, and Lionheart

OH YEA! Jack, the lily bulb supplier tried to pass off 'grafitti as lionheart'-- needless to say, i got my money back- and have no lionheart --- Maybe one day

Nice lilies opening for June.

Ahhh Susan, the'Midnight' disappointment. I wonder if it is a soil or temperature difference, or exactly what it is that makes what Judith grows there so wonderful and deep colored. You might remember that mine looks just like yours Susan. No depth of color here, but I still thought it was a very nice trumpet, just not at all what I was expecting or hoping for, you know?

Great start of June you guys. Am enjoying all the lilies so far. I'm just not quite that far along with bloom time yet.

Those are all beautiful lillies, afraid mine will look meager to others but this is what I have blooming so far.

Doris those are bright, cheerful and sweet. Thank you for posting them.

Tracey, I put four Midnight in this Spring. We'll have to see how mine turn out. I probably shouldn't be making a statement on only a foot tall newly planted example, but one has a green(er) stem--for whatever that may lead to after I've grown them a full year here--we'll have to just wait and see. It may turn out to be a wonderfull surprise--like the one of three Summer Palace I've got here. I jumped with joy--I was so happy for that! Outside of common border Pixies; looks like Carmine Diamond will be my first LA to post here in a couple days.

How tall are everyone's Midnights? I don't think mine have ever gotten above 3 feet and no more that 2-3 blooms per stem.

Doris, what are the 2 daylilies? Love the apricot colored one.

Love your front yard Susan, a true gardeners garden! And you have a Jeep!

Love NIGHT FLYER & STARLETTE!!! Beautiful area there Susan!!

I received Lionheart from Ramona this spring.

Some from today:
