I should finish walking around the house before I post.
Another one. Always the first lily to bloom for me.

Shelley

Shelley, I also have lilies blooming. All in pots. All in the sunroom. I have Purple King and Holland Beauty OTs blooming and giving fragrance to that side of the house. Cappacino, Burgundy Splash, Yellow Pixels, Sugar Jewel and America are all blooming also. The orientals I got this spring, all have buds on them and just got planted into the planters on the deck last night, as a centerpiece amongst the wave petunias.

Isn't it nice to see each kind of perennial come into bloom?

Brenda

Nice photos! I can't wait to see the postings of all the different lily blooms over the next month or two!

Janet

Shelley, that second lily, is it called Dauricum? That's the same one that I have blooming right now, and I don't know the name of mine for sure.

I think it is L. dauricum, a type of species. I am not totally positive, but pretty sure.

Shelley

Ok, that's what I think I'll call it then, Shelley.

Well, here is my first ever Martagon lily blooming in my yard.

I got it from the MLA fall sale two years ago, and it was labelled 'White Seedling'.....looks kind of pink to me.;0)

I really like your Martagon Laurie. I can't wait until mine bloom.

Petit Pink

New last fall. I'm seeing quite a few more buds turning color now with the heat.

Baby Pink Belles
I bought some tiny bulbs of BPB this spring.Once they grow they should be a mass of blooms.

Shelley

Laurie, love your Martie, can't wait for all those ones that we ordered bloom some day for us. I have seedlings that will bloom in about 5- 7 years too. LOL

Geez, I'm kicking myself for not ordering Baby Pink Belles now!

Martagon Mrs. R.O. Backhouse

Sharon

Sharon, I love the colours on Mrs. R.O.!

Martagon Dalhansoni opened up the other day.

I really like Burgundy Splash....very eye catching.

My Stella D'oro opened yesterday, but then I forgot why they're called daylilies.

first bloom of Little White Kiss - it's so cute
(usually has more burgundy speckles)

Aphrodite - (not quite open) this one changes so much depending on the weather. Some years it is a pale pink and then like this.
(and a very fast increaser)

Deb

Ohhh, can't wait for my Dalhansoni to bloom, I don't think it will be this year though.

Deb, Little White Kiss is cute, she's on my wish list now ;

L. philadelphicum - finally I have it growing in my garden!

Jacqueline - new this year, its really bold that I could see it from the deck! The flatten one in the left corner I accidently hoed it, doah!

Sharon

Sharon, I'm not a big Tango Lily fan, but I'm lovin that one! The petals are huge! All those are just great, I can't wait for mine to get going!

Darn it! My L. cernuum album didn't make it through the winter.:(

I'm enjoying everyone's pictures, but I can't get over how late the lilies are blooming this year. My Lollipops are usually blooming the end of June, and they're not even starting to colour up yet.

Only one of the martagons i planted last fall showed up this spring and then it disappeared. Guess they didn't like where they were planted. Sigh....

Oh no, Marcia! Don't give up hope! I've heard that a lot of time martagons will do that....not show up their first year at all, and will come the following year. So keep that area marked so you don't accidently dig there.

oh oh OH! those are so pretty.

Where are your favorite places to buy these? I haven't got any and the ones I see around here aren't that nice.

Thanks for sharing.

Karyn

Oh I really like your L. cernuum album Sharon! And I'm hoping my Cappuccino's look that nice when they get their act together and bloom.
I agree Laurie...my lilies are usually way earlier than this, but guess we will enjoy the show later:)
Karyn, not that I buy from alot of places, but I find the Lily Nook one of the best, I also have gotten some from Parkland. The ones I've gotten from Vesey's that were on sale, have almost always been the wrong kind!
I did buy my Cappuccino's from them last fall, so they better be them....
Deb

Plantlilies is another good place. Although their selections might be a little limited this fall because they were hailed out earlier.

Awesome pictures everyone!

Here's a few that have opened in the last few days here:

Tropical Dream

Tinos

Spirit

I love the dark buds on 'Something Else'.

Royal Dream

Lollipop

Aphrodite...Thanks Shelley!

Well Sharon I really don't know what mine is and it is more pink than red. I just don't remember getting anything like it! Oh well, don't look a gift lily in the mouth right ; )

Newest arrivals!

Latvia

Cannes

Kansas - first bloom on this one, just put in last fall : )

Finally, i have some lilies starting to bloom!

Russian House, one week and then the next:

A few more for me:

Bicolour Ballerina

Tropical Breeze

Dimension

Martagon 'Amelita', that I bought because I have an aunt Melita.

And a few more....

Centerfold - I just love how its filled out!

Tavello

Just not sure (seem to have a lot of that in yard!)

Top Gun - first bloom!(another new one from the Lily sale last fall!)

So I was checking out the Lily Nook site - very dangerous thing to do by the way - thinking I could id my white one here. Didn't have much luck as there were quite a few that look just like it! They did have Tavello and it looks a lot different then mine - more creamy colour to it. And I'm sure I have the right tag on this one! Anyone else have it? Another case of mistaken identity?? Oh well.....

Cheers all!
