Love them all even the ditch lilies down the street.
Linda

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen that many ditch lilies blooming all together. Amazing sight! I think the cluster of orange asiatic lilies is really pretty too. There's just something about orange this afternoon.

Love all your pics! Thanks for sharing!

WOW!!!!!!What a show of beauty every where.The daylilies are all just gorgeous,Could not decide on a favorite one,(yet) and that display of DITCH LILIES is really pretty, too.They are so thick, to make them really stand out. and STAND OUT, they are doing. Love all your lilies, too. Been patiently waiting for you to post pictures of the lilies.I just love the lilies.Dont know which ones I love the most, since I love them all.The RED ALERT is so pretty amd bright.and I really like the TANGO lilies, too. The yellow speckled ones are very pretty, too. Out of these last ones I planted,I have a couple red blooms today, too. I will probably add this thread to my favorites, list,so I can come back often to look at these lilies without having to hunt all over for it.I have just fallen in love with the lilies, especailly the Red alerts and the yellow tango lilies.Just gorgeous.

I like Midnight.

I had to get pictures of those ditch lilies all en mass like that. I can see them from half a block away.

mantis- Midnight is never as deep a purple as it is supposed to be but it is still pretty. It does have the most wonderful scent!

Jean- I know you have been waiting for lily pictures and your the reason I went and took all of these lilies today so I could post them.

Recently the road dept here, came through and chopped all the ditch lilies down from the ditches. They have to keep the sides of the roads clear from the tall grasses and weeds and of course, the ditches get mowed as well. I still admire them and I think they are great for preventing soil erosion.

Your pics are great and of course your lilies are always a treat to see.

Beautiful Rita. The dls are beutiful and the ditch liles look good in someone else's yard or at home in the ditch!
Your trumpet lilies look good and I like the dotted one!! LOL!!

AND, I Thank you very much Rita for posting all these lily picturs.I did forget to add I love them Purple MIDNIGHT lilies, too. They are very different and I so love purple. But,I cant get enough of looking at your Red Alert, and Yellow Tango and the yellow speckled lilies. I just never knew about lilies until you started posting some, and they are so beautiful in the lanscape, too.

Thank you, Rita.

Jean

The Ditch Lilies I posted are on private property so the road departement can't come cut them down, thank goodness. They have a bank on the front part of the property and I guess they figgured better Ditch Lilies than grass.

My favorite here is no surprise - Rocks Cry out - love those reds! And what a wonderful display of ditch lilies - amazing.

Ellie and Jean, you must have posted while I was typing. Ellie you are so right. I enjoy looking at the ditch lilies but if it was my yard there would not be ditch lilies planted LOL! Jean, I figgured I had better get the lilies now while there are so many blooming. Of course there are plenty more still to come so will take more pictures in the future. There are just lilies everywhere around here from my years and years of adding more every year.

All right! this is great. I've been waiting for Rocks Cry Out. And, I really like Grace Like Rain. The lilies are reall impressive and lovely. I especially like Blackout. I know that comes as no surprise. I plan to add a few more lilies this year too.

Beautiful, rita.

Kathy- Rocks Cry Out is just so different looking for a northern hybridized daylily. I love it.

Kay- I love Blackput. Only had afew of them so I bought 25 more and planted them this spring. I love that coloring (red with a touch of black added) in lilies and I love it in roses also.

Whoa, the ditch lilies are really impressive. I was just looking an my double flowering ditch lilies & thinking how much I like them. I like the form of them better than lots of new double daylilies & so bright. I have a big clump of regular ditch lilies at the back of our lot filling in a little triangle. They are in a bit of shade & don't seem to be multiplying very well, which is just fine.
Rocks Cry Out is stunning, I remember that one from last year, very impressive looking. Grace is very pretty too. Love the lilies!

Those ditch lilies really do look wonderful billowing in waves like that! My favorite is also Rocks Cry Out and I love your orange lilies and pink freckled ones. What was your source for the pink speckled ones, Rita? I couldn't find them this year, but thought maybe I looked at the wrong season?

Nancy- Another house further down the block has a nice stand of Kwanso out in the front yard. I have to go look to see if they are blooming yet but I think not. I have been noticing those plain ditch lilies now for afew days and figgured this was a good time to get pictures.

crackingtheconcrete- I can't remember the name of those ones with the dots but I should know it. I bought it from Brent and Beckies and I think they still carry it. It's really pretty and doesn't look like any other lily I have. Tall too. At least 5 feet.

Rocks Cry Out today. Slightly different shading. Not sure if it looks better today or looked better yesterday.

Great pictures. I really love your bulb lilies!! I am drawn to the Tango ones. I didn't realize you had the trumpet form lilies also. I like Grace Like Rain, I was so close to getting it, but due to diminishing space and then going to Curt Hanson's place, well, you know how that goes.
Really something can be said for the ditch lily. It is beautiful when planted like that. I have some planted on the lake bank, along with the Kwanso, and I do like to see them in bloom. I will always have them planted there, even talked a neighbor into planting some on her bank too!
cindy

I always enjoy your pictures :)

Thanks guys!

Cindy, when I started with lilies I didn't have any of the trumpet ones but you know me. I have to add, add, add things to my garden. Plus I just love the scent they have. Some yellow trumpets just are ready to come open and my SILK ROADS are not blooming yet. Those are just strnning. I have some trumpets in the front yard not blooming yet either.

I just enjoy looking at the neighbors ditch lilies as I don't have room for them here.

Ditch lilies are impressive in big groups like that. Thanks for showing the pics of them. My favorites here are FACE DANCER and GRACE LIKE RAIN. The dotted lily sure is different and pretty, and I like the red alerts a lot too.
