I just realized I posted yesterday's bloom in the April thread -- so here is the other picture I took of MAN OF SORROWS for the May thread...

Minstrel's Fire bloomed today

FFO of Catawampus on May 2. I had to hold it to get a decent picture.



I also have a Whoops!!! The picture that I posted of my first open lily I had Barbara Mitchell, it was labeled incorrectly and actually is Lullaby Baby.

FFO today
Key To Treasures

Sandy Perkins seedling that I have kept

Cheryl, I've never seen LB so pink! Mine were always near white.... Interesting...

A couple more of the historical type
A 4" legacy NoID

Ming Toy

A few from today:

JAMMIN'S FRENCH PEARL


CITY OF ECHOES - A little less splotchy


COOL CRYSTALS - A duo

I sure hope I still don't have it labeled wrong. I have the names of all the lilies I have bought but some did not get the labels put with them. I need to check it out further.

Cheryl....that sure looks like Barbara Mitchell blooming without a lot of curvature. She does do that. That faint eye line on pink really looks like Barbara..slight chance it could be Pink Attraction, if the midrib lightens up a bit more on future blooms. Really does not look like Lullaby Baby.

Many blessings for a wonderful month and gardening season. May your blooms be many, your happiness complete and troubles non-existant!

Nice ones everyone.

Okay I don't have Pink Attraction so I don't think it is that one. My big mistake was not putting the names with them when I planted them.

Thanks, she is pretty no matter her name. Since I have a very small garden I don't guess it makes a difference. I do know better now and the names are going on the ones that I plant when I plant them.

How big is the bloom? Barbara Mitchell has a 6 inch bloom, but Lullaby Baby only has a 3.5 inch bloom, so maybe you can narrow it down that way

We had two blooms today neither wirth raking pics of real duds. Smiling Cobra and a seedling.

Auspicious blooming today

Lava Flow FFO - spotted it this morning on my way out the drive.

First flower ever on Red Edition received from Floyd Cove a few weeks ago. It reminds me of another favorite, Spacecoast Francis Busby.

So many plants blooming now.
I think these are all first blooms for the season on these plants:
'Darla Anita':

'Divine Comedy':

'Hellow Screamer':

'Heman':

'Long Stocking':

'Primal Scream':

I'll add this photo of 'Lady Neva' it's first of the season was on 05/03/2020 this year.

Wow, so many blooms coming on and so nice to see them!
