I think it's an asiatic. But I guess you'll know in a day or two! Just for fun, come back and post a pic of what it really is when it opens! (We'll see how good we were....)

Hi Tracy, this looks like a stargazer lily to me. I just purchased 60 bulbs myself and can't wait to get them growing. They are beautiful aren't they? :O)

Oops...man, I guess I really need to proof my posts before submitting them. "I have a martagon lily that I blooming" should be: I have a martagon lily that is blooming....

Azngrnthumbs, Thanks for your reply - it certainly looks like it could be an orienpet. I only plant from bulbs, have never planted a potted lily. All my lilies have been planted in the fall and are from well known suppliers like Brent & Becky's, B&D Lilies, Dutch Garden's, & White Flower Farm. I do sometimes order mixed varieties or collections and take what I get, but these are usually all one kind - asiatics, LA, orientals, orienpets, etc. Although this particular bed was planted with lilies for the first time in the fall of 2004, I do not have a picture of this one blooming last year (Spring/Summer 2005). I planted all asiatics in this bed in 2004. I had forgotten when I first posted that I did add a handful of leftover later blooming bulbs in the fall of 2005 - this must be one of them - but why it bloomed a month early beats me. The rest of those are in bud right now but have not bloomed yet and are about a foot taller. I was thinking at the time that these were orientals, but I did buy a mixed pack of yellow orienpets, which have to be somewhere. LOL Anyway, we'll see next year if it blooms in mid June again!
