"I will need to find it on my diagram, once I find my diagram." Sue I hope that you meant for this to be funny, because I got a good laugh out of it! Frank, No I wasn't being funny, but glad you had a good laugh out of it. I do have a lot of notes, tags, lists, receipts, and a few diagrams, but luckily they are all crammed into one drawer. Maybe someday (like in late Summer when it is too hot to play outside), I can/will make some organizational sense of it all. I'm still dealing with the excitement of finally seeing a few sprouting! I'm still waiting for some to sprout here as well. I fear having planted them so late that they may not have gotten established b4 the ground froze, and I fear they may have met their demise. Time will tell I guess. I also have others I never even got planted, but will hopefully get to that next week, after I've had time to think about and prep the planting places a bit. Should have done that long ago, huh? Beetleman, Hey- did I send you the bulbs you wanted? Yes you did...Thank you again. Will you be exhibiting at the show? The exhibits and judging are always done the day b4 the show is open to the public, right? It is open to the public Sat and Sun, and I'm planning to attend Sat. I'm growing Salome (2nd year I think) and it looks very similar to my daff in question...just not sure if they are exactly alike. They are grown in 2 different places on the property, and the soil is quite different for them. Yes, Helen is a real sweetie. Possibly she will have RO in bloom too. I 'had' Bell Song as well, but divided and moved it last season, and now don't recall seeing it this season, though I do remember it being one of the very latest ones to bloom. Sue

And a few more.... Centerfold - I just love how its filled out! Tavello Just not sure (seem to have a lot of that in yard!) Top Gun - first bloom!(another new one from the Lily sale last fall!) So I was checking out the Lily Nook site - very dangerous thing to do by the way - thinking I could id my white one here. Didn't have much luck as there were quite a few that look just like it! They did have Tavello and it looks a lot different then mine - more creamy colour to it. And I'm sure I have the right tag on this one! Anyone else have it? Another case of mistaken identity?? Oh well..... Cheers all!

This looks just like the one a friend who moved away gave me last year. I was checking out some pics and think it might be dahlasonhi(probably butchered the spelling but close enough!) I was thrilled to see it bloom. I was a little worried that some of the bottom leaves were browning/rusty at the edges but hoped that it was just related to all the wet cool weather we had (and are still having,actually) I have another that I got at a lily sale last year, rosalinda is her name. She hasn't opened her buds yet; she is in a more shady spot than the other one. I just love these little lilies; I would like to get some more, but they sure are pricey!

Hi luvmybulbs, Did the guy at Brent & Becky's tell you the Martagon bulbs might take up to 3 years to bloom because of the bulb size or because Martagon can "sulk" upon transplanting? If they are selling non-blooming size bulbs then they should note that in their description. They do note that they are 10+ cm bulbs (is that small for Martagons?) and that Martagon lilies "can take a season to adjust to their new home" and requires rich humus soil. Their Summer 06 catalog is online now and they are selling the species and "Backhouse" for a good price (5/$30). It would be good to know if the bulbs are a little small for the variety. I know they sold-out last Fall. Does anybody else have experience with Martagon lilies from Brent and Becky's? -Helen
