Yes. it is an asiatic with red on white. very nice. stays short and compact, too. I don't have a picture yet, but you should be happy.

I've got some in my gardens, about 2' tall Asiatic. Go to Lilynook.mb.ca, picture library, Asiatic, L and scroll down to a picture

Thanks so much !

Now I can look at the pics and make sure I know the names of others that I have.

Thanks again !

Lollypop aren't red. It is a pink variety Asiatic. The flower petals are half white towards center and half cherry pink towards tips. It's a cheerful looking flower. The foliage is dark green. And, it grows to 26 inches. If you planted the 16/18 you should see 4-7 blooms per stem. If 14/16 size, 3-5 blooms per stem.

I love mine. They're the earliest to bloom, of all my lilies, and put on a wonderful show. They're tough and hardy. I divided them for the first time last fall - after 3 years of benign neglect, they'd multiplied like mad! Many friends got good-sized bulbs and I have a bunch of smaller bulbs potted up, that I need to find places for. You'll love them!

Uhh. sorry flowerfarmer... cherry pink (sorry, I thought it was raspberry .. (just pulling your leg... !!!)

I would call it a dark cherry red-pink (that should cover it lol). They have a low bud count compared to most other asiatics on the market but they more than make up for it with rapid increase, forming clumps and multiple stalks. I would even venture to say they grow like weeds!

Pardalinum, you are right on with the description (dark cherry red-pink.. why didn't I think of that .. LOL ...)

The flowers face upwards and they are fairly short. That makes them great lilies in the front of the border (where the deer can easily get to them so it don't stamp on your other flowers in the process. !!!). I can only second the multiplication. This one is capable of doubling or tripling in number of flowering lilies every 2 years (if you have the room).

Ken, I can't get the font color to show raspberry. I typed in raspberry; and, it showed raspberry I typed cherry; and, it shows cherry. What is a girl to do. Actually, in our wholesale catalog, Lollypop is listed as a pink variety Asiatic lily. We used them last year as cutflowers for market. Beautiful in bouquets. Don't pull my leg. I need it especially right now when we are planting in the field!!!

Thanks everyone !

One more question....how do they multiple ? It is only one stalk right now.

Thanks,
Dina

You'll see next year, when 2 or 3 stalks come up where once there was one. After a couple of years you will need to separate them in the fall after the foliage dies down, otherwise they will grow even shorter and not bloom.

DinaBear,
You may want to take a look at the pictures below. If they do not show up in your email, then go to gardenweb and read the post on the website.

They multiply by creating offsets. Simply put, every year the lily creates miniature clones of itself. They develop along the stem. Most lilies grow roots all along the stem from the bulb to the surface of the soil. These roots are the primarily roots responsible for feeding the lily and for hosting the small clones. These small miniatures, also called bulblets, are identicial clones of the mother bulb.

Initially, they feed from the nutrients collected by the mother plant and is transport to the bulblets in the feeder roots. This allow the bulblets to grow from a pinhead to a chick pea size in one season. After this year, the bulblets (being attached to the old stem and roots) will send up it's own leaf which in another year will become a thin stem. In a couple of years (2-5 depending on type of lily) it will be a flowering lily.

Here are some pictures:
Here is a picture of a lily stem pulled from the ground. Note the "swollen part" which is the roots and see the white bulblets which is attached to the stem ?

Thanks so much !

Wow, I can not wait to have the whole bed full of lillies !

:) Thanks again !

Here's a picture of Lollipop from my garden
{{gwi:1030446}}

Hi,
In May I won 32 lollipop lily bulbs from a plant seller on ebay. I traded some on plant and lily forums and gave some as gifts. I kept about 18- 20 for myself.
Well five just bloomed and the rest are getting ready to bloom and all of the ones that bloomed are WHITE! They have black freckles down in the throat and middle. No pink at all.
Now some of the outside petals has the tiniest tinge of pink on them.You can hardly see it and it's very light and not on all of the outside petals. But none at all on the inside of the petals. I contacted the selller and she said maybe my soil had something to do with it? I don't think so.They're all in planters with miracle grow potting soil. She said she got them straight from Holland
(about 1000 bulbs).
They look healthy enough but the whole reason I bought them
was because they were supposed to be pink and white.
They don't look anything like mainiacs picture she posted of hers, which by the way are just lovely.
I live In Florida , zone 9a I think. Could that have anything to do with it or do you think I got something other then a lollipop?
She suggested maybe I somehow got Casa Blancas by mistake, but I have some of those and they don't look anything like these "lollipops " she sent .I can get my son to take pictures of what I have.

Unfortunately sometimes even direct from Holland plants are mislabeled and this is apparently what has happened. It's a good thing lolipops are cheap so you can buy some more or better yet since you have so many of the others you can trade them for the lolipops if you'd like. I have some cream with purple spots which multiply like bunnies and are my very favorite. They make an awesome impact after just a few years. Here's a pic of mine after just 3 years and I've traded some of them off several times. Maybe you'd like to keep them and just put them somewhere else in your garden.

Ken, your tutorials are great! You have taught so many of us so much.

Here is a link that might be useful: cream with purple spots

Mine are just reaching their peak now. I have two huge clumps of these, probably about 5-6 years old.

They are really beautiful when they first open up, but the colour fades pretty quickly.

I was planning to get some of the lollipops, because I wanted toput them in front of some taller lilies. But one of the websites that sells them ( I forgot which one) said they were 3' tall. I was looking for something a bit shorter. Most of the posts here say its shorter, 26" which is perfect for what I want. Is that correct? How big should I expect them to get?

the one in the front is my first year lollipop, which i planted around easter time. i got two blooms on it this year, which i am quite pleased with. there's more green pushing through the earth at this time, so i believe i will have quite a few more next season.

my asiatic lilies are coming into a second bloom this season, they should open by next week. i don't think this has happened in the past, at least that i can remember.

i did just purchase a bunch of pixie lilies in shades of white, yellow, orange, pink and red. i had never heard of them before, but they stay miniature like the lolli's.
