There are more in the garden but I found to my disappointment that the lillies I am so excited about started the old asthma!!!

They will have to stay and adorn the garden:))

cheers

Look very pretty. I'm growing them myself for the first time this year but they have just finished. Wish they'd flower for longer.

So beautiful Michelle, I am glad that you wrote that as I have trouble with lots of plants.
Even the odd roses or two never comes into the house, its terrible and I dont even have asthma.

Oh gosh, Haley, I'm so envious of that one plate with the dogs that look like greyhounds on the left side of it. One sitting and one laying. I collect anything greyhound and whippet, and tho I've often seen the brass plates with foxhounds, I've not seen one with greyhounds. If by chance you'd be interested in selling it, please email me privately! You made a great haul, and WELCOME out of Lurkdom! No going back now, LOL.

bebemarie, well I finally had some time to actually go and look at your album and think your flowers and photos are stunning! The Apolline is just lovely and the Narrow Waters has an etheral look about it. The Buff Beauty is also lovely and I can't wait for mine to gain some age and wisdom! I mentioned that I am pilloring it and have a few canes wrapped around the pole so far. They are a little stiff but if I don't wait too long (like I did for the first one which, to my horror, broke as I bent it - yikes!) they wrap just fine. I also have a potted Lady Hillingdon which I hope to put in the ground soon - when I get around to making a spot for her (and all the other roses in my pot ghetto that don't have homes yet!) Lynn

butterfly, some of the tomato plants (middle veggie bed with marigolds) are about two months old...but have been outside in that same area (moved from third bed to second bed to make room for my peppers (hot, jap, banana) in third bed. ) lots of sun there so I keep that watered very well and the rains lately have helped a lot. The first bed is new, pumpkin got too large for the big pot so I put it in the ground and prayed. it was the last pumpkin seedling to survive moving it around. also added cantelope plant (I'm determined to get cantelopes) and watermelon plants. I am building another bed this weekend for the beans (see seed post) that are over a foot tall in my dining room flat tray. I added squash to the compost pile (did you see the beans growing out of the compost pile on west side of house?)Cracked me up...should garden all of it like that! I have some new seeds germing now for fall/winter (ha) garden. I still have a whole other piece of land next door to plant gardens! I hope that answers your question...I think I got them all covered! Happy Gardening! Kim

Things are still in full swing here, lots of egg laying going on. But I have just seen two Zebra swallowtails the whole year and not a single Viceroy. I even planted native willow last Fall, since I didn't think the weeping kind will work. I am fascinated with the milkweed tussock moth. I have never seen caterpillars eat so much and travel such distances. I stopped moving them around except for some occasional ones that seem to be lost on the porch. They are doing such a great job finding the milkweed themselves. They even found the milkweed vine that has been ignored by the Monarchs for the past few years. Good to see something besides aphids using it. I do really like the flowers though.

Very pretty Michelle, most of mine are finished, pity about the asthma, the only consilation to that is they can make nasty stains with their pollen, you won't have that worry lol.

They are lovely Michelle, shame about the asthma though. If you do really want some inside you can cut off the stamens before bringing them in. I was at a wedding recently and the table setting was lilies. I had the worst headache by the end of the night (and I wasn't even drinking!) but at least it wasn't asthma.
Cheers,
Dee.

Thanks everyone

I was interested to read that others have some sort of reaction to lillies.
So they will have to stay in the garden or given away.
I made a beautiful sheath for a friends birthday yesterday and the lillies went in that.
I put all the flowers on a palm frond. She loved it.
MM--Yes a grey moment!!! Well I have just passed the half century mark so I guess that may happen a bit now:))
goldhills-- did you grow white ones? I have some Madras still to bloom and the pink lillies didnt bloom at all!!!!I think they may have been trodden on in the early days after planting.Still I will give them a go next season.
Cheers everyone
Michelle
