The bloom on Last Snowflake is amazing but it increases VERY SLOWLY in my Nova Scotia garden and it has never shown the scape height or branching it is supposed to have. Hopefully it will get there eventually. My current favorites are Victorian lace for full formed, Heavenly Angel Ice for SPUFs, and VLXWTV04 for seedlings. I have some new ones that I am watching this year. They are Polar Bear Express, Pointer Sisters and Mississippi Memories. Now, on with the pictures: Victorian Lace Heavenly Angel Ice Victorian Lace X Within the Veil #4 (VLXWTV04)

Morning all! Hope everyone had a terrific weekend! We're just waiting for 1 more box and this swap will be wrapped up. I know I am the worst at this, but, if everyone could remember to go the rate and review board and leave a review for your swapper that would be awesome! Sue, I'm digging your bingo winner today :) Hopefully will be going out later...the latest tomorrow. Just want it to be dry enough. We've had rain everyday!!

Just a quick update! Joan Senior was the first to bloom, I think it bloomed around 6/23. It is still blooming nicely. The flowers are nice but on the smaller side compared to what I would like. About a week later, I think maybe 7/1, Snowy Apparition started to bloom. This one is honestly my favorite. It is nice and tall with large blooms, and it has smooth (not ruffled edges), which I prefer. Then, two days ago (7/6), Lime Frost started to bloom! I was shocked as it is a lot earlier than I expected. Based on what I have seen, I think I will try to add some like Snowy Apparition, perhaps Ice Carnival. I still need some EE! Photos to follow....

Now that I am home again, I had to post this lily. It is Voila Francois. No doubt, the most perfectly formed white I have. I don't think I have ever had an ugly bloom on this one. The second is Stardust Dragon. (I don't know this new trick Houzz performed in putting my photos together! Not my intention. It bopped my narrative below it and I have to edit.) New this year. But it multiplied rapidly and bloomed and then rebloomed. I think I will like it . Kate
