I am not believing this. The silly thing gave me the message it could not complete the post! I went on another site and posted three photos...cam back to see who had posted and found out I had. go figure. Nancy, mine has 18 bloom spikes on it this year...First year, not much, last year pretty good, but some canoeing early on. Looks good now. There is a bloom that has it as a parent that relly tempts me...a little hogh though "Mean /as a Cat"

Count It All Joy: pretty in pink

Cup of Cold Water:

Water Drops on rebloom; It has put up another set too.

Red Eyed Fantasy on rebloom

Boy Crazy

Entwined In /the Vine

Always Delightful; Mean Green

After a day in the sun; The City of New Orleans:

I have always admired Laura Harwood, but hear varying opinions on it. I did have it once but never saw a bloom. Yours is pretty.

Congratulations on winning so many ribbons. It's gratifying to have our hard work rewarded. The picture of Green Derby is sharp and focused, showing just how nice GD is.....My favorites of your "entries" this time are Pixie Plaything, Dragon Dreams (which looks alot like PP) and of course I almost always like the yellows, so Just For Breakfast is right up my alley.....Good show.......Maryl

Debra: I don't know the name of that particular bee balm bloom as it was in a package of seeds I got from Johnny's which I thought was the red variety. Instead it was labeled Panorama Mix. I'm not sure if in that clump I will see any other colors appear as so far, all the bloom appear to be a lavender/purple color (at least to this old pair of eyes lol). I know the other clump across from this one, the blooms appear to be coming out red/pinkish in color. Bluebird Sky is registered as a crispate ufo form. I agree it does look more spatulate when you view the pics on the AHS site dictionary. Black Eyed Bully is that dark of an eye. Amazing when you see it up close. Hopefully I can get some garden shots soon. Not much now as it is just here and there with blooms and a sea of scapes. Very hot and humid here and the JP's have made their appearance. Just a few of them. I'm ready with my cup of soapy water and tweezers and just slide them into the cup. I too love green throats and the bigger the better ;-). Julia

Rita, I didn't remember having seen it bloom before. Nancy, most of them have some imperfect blooms, so when one always opens right it is a delight, isn't it? Jean, you never know, three of mine are reblooming that never have before. Clown Parade, Black Forest Depths, Alabama Jubilee, oh, yes, and Philistine Champion, so make it four that had never re-bloomed. Thanks, nat4b. I really like the brights and reds of any shade too. Mantis, Bohemian Rhapsody is a deep coral, almost seems iridescent with some golds including very light, almost yellow highlights and some burnished golds with touches of orange, but I haven't seen anything at all brown, even after a day in the sun. It seems to pick up more gold as the day goes on. kay

Lots of beautiful ones today, Jean. Not sure I can get it to one, but I'll try. the Woman at the Well is lovely. Pandora's Treasure is a very striking one. Beautiful Edgings is beautiful, and Northern Nocturne period is pink and lovely. Mississippi Man is just beautiful. I'll pick two, Woman at the Well and Mississippi Man are my picks. kay

Great blooms again, Kay! Glad the post went through. I’m enjoying your Boy Crazy and hoping mine does good this season, poor thing has been moved twice. Mean Green keeps catching my eye, not usually my first color choice but just something about it ; )

I got that same message, but my post was here this morning. Boy Crazy and Water Drops are my favorites.

We'll know to look now. Sherrie, I felt the same way, but loved Mean Green from the start even though it normally would not have been my colors. since I post so much, it is obvious that changed. Debra, Boy Crazy is coming along well for first year...I really enjoy the Davissons.

That's pretty good color On City of New Orleans for the PM if you've had your usual heat. I like that orange sherberty color, which on my monitor is how yours shows up...... One really needs to enlarge your picture on this post to see what a good shot of Count it All Joy is. Very nice.........Laura Harwood is a good one for some, but it sure wasn't for me. Nice picture of it from you........Maryl

Water Drops always looks so good when you show it. Boy Crazy has great color and the name is such a hoot.

Maryl. City of New Orleans gets better during the day.. Heat does not cause ill effects on CONO., and in fact it seems to thrive on heat. The other newer one I have noticed being impervious to direct hot sun all day is the delicate appearing Sweet Isabella; same at 6:00Pm as 6:00 AM except for being prettier with the recurve. I think LH is either very good or very bad...I am lucky to be on the very good side.Thanks you Nancy, WD always does so well here it has put up a third set of bloom spikes. And I agree about BC...I like the color and the name amuses me. I have bought more than one plant when the name was the tipping point to buy one I like anyway. Thank you Dick. Nice to here coming from you.

Like Count It All Joy, a pretty pink; always go for Entwined In The Vine; Water Drops has that great eye, and Judi's always are appealing.

I am new to the love of lilies, but was wondering if there is a forum to share some bulbs? I'd love to get some more colors in my garden!!
