A few more lilies blooming 2022
This is Zambesi a really lovely white that I found at a nursery last year and earlier than Casa Blanca.
Bell Tower is similar to Passion Moon which I think I like better.
Conca D'or which is always lovely.
Triumphator had very weak stems and went over in a very strong wind so I ended up picking them and enjoying them in the house.
Frontera is a big and blousy beautiful pink. Huge flowers that I also had to pick because of critters eating the buds.
Shine On is a lovely yellow that nearly got totally destroyed last year but two stalks managed to survive and give me 3 flowers.
Silk Road which I was forced to pick also.
A couple of mystery yellows that I've even forgotten what they were supposed to be. From the same batch both a little different in color. In person one was much more of a golden yellow than the other.
and High Tea I think, another one I didn't order.
Thanks for looking....
Donna

Vigorous day lilies have longer blooming period than lilies
Comments (21)I love lilies for their stately appearance and scent... but hate the red lily beetle battle. We live along a river and worry about pesticide run off. So there are only two clumps in our yard. However, we do have many varieties of daylily. These are one of my favorite flowers... but my DH is not crazy about them. He thinks the long slender leaves and the same green tones look boring. The compromise was to place them among plants with different leaf textures and colors. And I have to agree with him that this helps to hide the ratty look of day lilies as they mature. (You're so right about that, Kevin.) A favorite new day lily is H. 'Light the Way' which I found at Bloomingfields Farms in Gaylordsville, CT. These are magnificent! The stems are very tall, which means the plant can be tucked behind shorter plants and the whitish blossom will peek out above its neighbors. Here is what LtW looked like the other day in our gardens. The flower color is more like the second shot...green and white tones. One "problem" ..... day lily clumps can get enormous and crowd out other things, even when divided. That happened in our small yard. The 6 tiny Hemerocallis 'Malaysian Monarch' fans that I planted years ago spread like the plague. We gave most of them away to a friend with lots of property.

Comments (7)Rita, can't hardly wait to see them lilies blooming again. Nancy, I love Apricot nector too, its a very pretty apricot color, KAY, sCENTIMENTAL has a very weak fragrance.not real strong, like Ebb Tide does and Blinda's Dream LINDA: Thanks. I am back in my garden a little,I still get very tired real fast and still get weak after a few minutes, but,I keep going back, as I know the outside and the sunshine is good for me.I have always been a outside type and never like being in the house all day. Val, roses are rewarding with the big smelly blooms, but, you are right they have to be sprayed for blackspot,and I have not been able to spray mine yet and they do have some blackspot on them.maybe in a nother week or two I will be more able to care for them better.

Comments (3)Thanks for the nice comments. I have the lilies divided between 2 beds. One bed is 8ft x 20ft and the other one is 8ft x 30 ft. I'm going to extend the 30 ft one to 40 ft sometime in the near future as I am running out of room. I think I posted about 40 pictures of some of my lilies. I now have a lily album in photobucket with about 80 lilies that bloomed this year (if you are interested in looking). I believe I have about 50 more cultivars on order. My love of lilies has gone from an addiction now to an obsession:) Do you have lilies? Here is a link that might be useful: rfcfishlady lily album...See More

last yearHere is Pixel.
And here’s another. I do not remember ordering this one so who knows. It’s pretty, though.
Great pics, Donna. I get a lot of inspiration from you!dondeldux z6b South Shore Massachusetts
last yearI can see why they call it Pixel!😊 Your pink is very pretty; very clear strong pink!
This is Dynamite. I bought this last year at a nursery and it was labeled as a Roselily and the first two flowers that opened were partial doubles. Not particularly pretty as a partial double but this year all the flowers were singles and much prettier. I had to pick themand bring inside as something was starting to make large holes in the flowers. It also didn't like the intense sun and started to burn in places. You'd think that it would have a strong fragrance but it has a very sweet, pretty fragrance. I'd never seen this one anywhere else before or after. Glad I found it! 🤗 Donna

last yearHere is a mutant Stargazer with four petals. It did the same thing last year.
And here is Muscadette, I think
dondeldux z6b South Shore Massachusetts
last yearYour mutant has beautiful color though; how many flowers and are they all like this?
Muscadette when they get larger and fill into a large clump makes a nice bouquet if you pick one whole stem! My clump has always been on the pale side color wise whereas I've seen some with more color.
