Grrr. On Friday I renamed my lilies at Photobucket so they would be in alphabetical order. I tried a few first to see what would happen on GW, and nothing did. But today I noticed that some of my pictures are gone.I am reposting mostly new pictures from the last couple days. Sorry.

Here they are again.
Aphrodite

Bakersfield. I'm wondering if this one is true. It was a Wally World purchase. I think that there is too much red.

Butter Pixie

Cappuccino

China

Corianne

Denia

Dimples

Fata Morgana

Honeyqueen

Jacqueline- I am wondering if this one is true. Another chain store special. She is not supposed to have any spots

Lollypop

My not Hallowe'en that is probably Loreto

Midnight Passion- which I am thinking is Monte Negro after seeing it this one bloom. It is missing the white stipe down the middle.

Monte Negro

Mount Duckling

Navarra with African Moon Daisy
{{gwi:712958}}

Orange Carpet

Red Carpet

Philos

Raspberry on Whip

White Tiger

White Twinkle

Some new bloomers

Silverwood

Netties Pride

Not Uncle Albert (mislabled from last year)

America

Shelley

Of course you're not hogging anything Shelley. I love Silverwood, that one is so cool! Brenda, I have one that looks like your 'Spirit'. I don't have a pic because I donated them all to a funeral recently (my poor garden is denuded).

Two new ones for me today,

Party Diamond (I like!)
{{gwi:702009}}

and Tropic Diamond

I've noticed that most of my new LA's are scented.

Yes, Silverwood does have very unique markings doesn't it? I like it!

It's also interesting in how close Something Else and Raspberry on Whip are. It's also interesting how much variation of the red colouring there is from flower to flower on both of them too. Oh well, I think they're both stunning anyway!

Your diamonds sure do sparkle there, Gillian!lol It's such a treat for them to be scented too.....gotta like that!

I like Silverwood too. I bought it from Lisa's Lilies last fall. Unfortunately it was one of the ones that didn't split over winter.
Gillian, I had both Party Diamond and Tropic Diamond on my list this spring and then I removed them. Dang, I now wish that I wouldn't have.
Laurie, the difference that I found with Something Else and Raspberry on Whip is that SE opens somewhat peachy color while RW is more white.

Jive

Tinos

Lemon Pixie

My fave..Purple Reign.

Shelley

My Jive opened up this morning too.

As well as Blackout.

More for me today.
Fangio LA -Almost as tall as me this year.

Algarve

Iceberg

Vermeer one of my favorites

Beaudacious-Lovely

Black Out -What a nice red.

Olina Tango

Sterling Star

Regetta- Oh my gosh is this one super nice in person.

Wendy's Choice

Shelley

Told you girls you'd like Black Out! Olina Tango looks really nice too Shel. Ok ok they all are and I have to have them all. LOL. I swore no more lilies this spring but of course now that they are blooming I need more.

I love tall lilies too, my tallest is Corrida which luckily I remembered to put in the middle of the bed. I haven't measured but I think it's over 4'.

Absolutely gorgeous everyone!

{{gwi:701038}}
LA Modern Style

Many more in my albums....

Sharon

Sharon, there you are. You haven't been posting pic's for a bit. I've been missing them. Love your AB Bicolor BTW. It was on my wish list but now I have to have it.
A couple that I forgot before.

Does this look like Starburst Tango?

Cocktail Twins is so different that it is awesome. Yes it is yellow and red.

Shelley

Thanks Shelly, just been busy ;)
Here is a photo of my Latvia from last year. Looks like SB has more fused flecks in the center.
My Starburst hasn't bloomed yet, but I 'll make sure I take a photo to compare to yours.

There are so many Tango's that look alike, it's very confusing.

Sharon

Cocktail Twins is really different, Shelley. Very cool looking!

My Fangio is going big guns now too. It's one of the tallest lilies I've got.
{{gwi:699659}}

Royal Paradise is also putting on a great show.
{{gwi:699873}}

Ice Diamond is new this year....I just love white lilies. They look so elegant, to me anyway.
{{gwi:698820}}

Sharon, Starbust is a red tango. The yellow lily that I got isn't even close. Otherwise I wouldn't have questioned it. My other yellow tango Honey Bee has yellow buds, so they aren't mixed up.
Laurie I love your Ice Diamond.
Gillian if you like tall lilies do you have Dolly Madison? I cannot capture the pink, but it stands out. I haven't seen a pink like it on lilies. Bright..bright ..bright. I'll try taking pictures of it later to see if I can capture how pink it actually is.

Claret Sunburst-looking alot like Pink Pagoda except lighter.

Rosalinda-what a nice color combination.

Wizard -I'm not sure if I like this ones colors.

Shelley

What a beautiful variety of lilies everyone has!
Mine are juuust starting to open...
My unknown martagon...any ideas on what variety?

Shelley, here I thought you were asking about Latvia, doh, must be the muscle relaxers I'm on ;)

Toots, I just love your Marti, does it grow quite tall, if so, it could be L. dalhansoni. Check out the Lily Nook and see what you think.

Your second photo is not a true tiger lily, most likely a Asiatic cultivar. L. tigrinum has down facing, reflexed orange flowers with large brown spots throughout. Forms bulbils in it leaf axils. The most well know of the species, the Tiger lily

Sharon

Toots, your Martie is just gorgeous whatever it is! Shelley, I don't have Dolly Madison, but I think Marcia has posted pics of it before(??). I just realized this spring that I have been on a huge pink kick and now I need stuff that's not pink. :0

A pink kick......really Gillian, I wonder why??LOL Maybe in a couple of years you'll go through a blue kick?;^) Hmmm, that may be tough to do with lilies.....

I have Dolly Madison. Here is a picture of her.

Shelley, I love your Cocktail Twins. Hope mine is as pretty as yours when it blooms.

I have a few new ones blooming also in the yard.

Lucca

{{gwi:695847}}

Purple Reign. Thanks, Shelley for Purple Reign and Centerfold last year. They are doing great!

My Ice Diamond is also blooming but it has already been shown.

Royal Perfume

Eric

Swallowtail

{{gwi:713055}}

Pirate

{{gwi:713062}}

Brenda

Very nice Brenda! That Doeskin really looks like doeskin. I have two new ones today...

Dreamland, I bet this would look nice with Aurora... must get Aurora!

and Royal Present
{{gwi:699864}}

Two more
Red Hot OT. I need more OT next spring. The scent of them is awesome and the flowers are huge. They are much better than the Orientals that I have grown.

Gran Cru

Shelley

My Tango Honey Bee---NOT

But I did get Tango Dot Com.

The hugest flower measuring over 9" across. Triumphator

Royal Present- I really like this one.

Vivaldi

Monet

Shelley

Electric Yellow

Glossy Wings LA another one with huge flowers.

Shelley - wow, Triumphator is to die for! And whatever your Honey Bee isn't, I actually like it. All v. nice.

Zagora is my first OT so far, very nice tall plant and big flower but the smell is funny. It smells like makeup. Weird!

Zagora is lovely. I can't wait for mine to bloom.

Aurora Borealis-I can't capture how lovely it actually is.

Chianti

Aurora

Kansas

Baronesse

Royal Lace LA

Elodie only one bulb has double flowers.

Elegant Crown OA

I didn't realize how many lilies I actually have.

Shelley

I didn't realize how many I have either, I guess I added a lot this spring :0

Here's my white one that I thought looks like Brenda's 'Spirit' - but now I see the pollen's a different colour and it's more recurved.
{{gwi:695968}}

'Pink Superior' - very pleasant pink, I should have staked it tho. Isn't it funny how some lilies fall over and some never do.
{{gwi:702006}}

This is a very short pale yellow that came with the house - I wonder if it's a Pixie of some sort. It's yellower than this pic shows.
{{gwi:695971}}

How come everybody else's new lilies are blooming so far ahead of mine? Waaaa!
Wow, Shelley, Triumphator is 9" across! Now I really want mine to bloom right now!lol But hopefully in a few days it will.

A few more have opened up for the season for me lately.
One Aurora polyed for me.

Dancing Eyes has always been a favorite for me.

Coral Sunrise

And boy are the Royal Sunsets really spreading into a nice clump!
{{gwi:699870}}

Laurie

Gillian, I think you might have Antarctica. Mine opened yesterday.

Here are some other new ones for this year. Some new and blooming for their first time here and others have been here for a while.

Cathedral Windows

Avalanche

Bold Knight

Dot Com. I really like it.

Music Art. It's flowers must be at least 6" across!!

Vanguard

Vivaldi

More to come later....

Brenda

Laurie I like your Dancing Eyes.
Brenda, I noticed that your Sphinx didn't double. Mine hasn't opened yet so I'll have to see what it does. Is your Vanguard's red a red or burgundy? I thought that this is probably what I had (instead of my Honey Bee) after looking at Plantlilies site. But yours doesn't look like it it is the same.

Shelley

I'm loving all the pictures everyone!

Canadian Sunrise opened this morning.

And also this hot yellow noid lily opened. The stamen are really long on it.

Laurie, yes, are the stamens ever long on your noid!

Shelley, I just checked the color of the brushmark on Vanguard. It is definitely a red. I have Vanguard planted right next to Monte Negro. The brushmark is exactly the color of Monte Negro.

Brenda

Thanks Brenda, my white does look like Antarctica, I shall call it that :0) Wow I like your Music Art... I thought of getting it this spring but LN's picture didn't look as nice as yours.

Brenda, my most likely Vanguard is planted next to Monte Negro too with the brushmark exactly the same color as Monte Negro too. Just must be the difference in camera colors.

Blue Eyes

Electric Orange reminds me of creamscicles.

Kaleidoscope. Not what I expected at all. I was expecting brushmarks because it is a sister to Flirt. But it is bright.

Suncrest LA

Look what I have Gillian!! I changed my mind so many times this spring that I forgot.
Party Diamond LA

Tropic Diamond LA

Shelley

Today a few more lilies opened up...

Cameleon has nice large yellow flowers.

Wow Brenda I really like your Cosmic Blast. Do you have enough bulbs to trade yet?
Shelley

For sure Cosmic Blast is a blast, I love it!

Laurie, I had a Tropical Dream that had really long stamens this year too, the next day it turned normal, can't figure that one out?

I'm really enjoying all the lovely DL's posted this year.

Going to load some Lilies too.

Great lilies Sharon! I would say Tropic Diamond is the first one, it isn't supposed to have spots. Mine looks darker than yours but I found the colour hard to photograph.

Tropic Diamond
{{gwi:702701}}

Cannes (bottom) is blooming now, I just love it, it's the colour of cantaloupe! It also matches the middles of Royal Present (top).

Sharon, I too would say that your first one is the real Tropic Diamond. I really like your Honey Bee.

Gillian, your Cannes is pretty too. I ordered that one too.

Has anyone else been having this happen to their lilies? I've had a few so far. A bud in a bud.

Aladdins Sun LA

Shirley

Toronto

Dizzy Oriental

Shelley

Oklahoma opened today.

Avalanche....I love the black edges on this one.

My lilies started blooming a couple of weeks ago but it doesn't look like i've posted anything since Russian House. Somewhere i have a better pic of later blooms - i'll find it later.

Here's Lavender Ballerina, which looks pretty red to me:
{{gwi:696034}}

Pink Superior:
{{gwi:696032}}

Elegant Crown:
{{gwi:696030}}

Angel's Touch:
{{gwi:696028}}

Visa Versa:
{{gwi:696026}}

Here are some older lilies that i've had for several years. One name i remember is Royal Lace - it's in there, just hard to see! :)

Wow Marcia, Visa Versa looks just huge!

With this heat, the lilies are opening up faster than I can photograph them!lol
Here's some more that opened up since this morning.

Merry Spring
{{gwi:701079}}

Navarra
{{gwi:701236}}

Suncrest
{{gwi:702573}}

Laurie, Visa Versa is pretty big but not as big as some of the other Orienpets i have (which aren't blooming yet). The description says that it can be up to 8" across and maybe it will be in years to come. Right now it's more like 4 or 5". Oh - no scent either. That was disappointing!

Sharon

It is amazing at how many different kinds and colors of lilies we at Far North all have between us. We need to set up an exchange forum just for the Far North.

Shelley, I checked the Cosmic Blast. I got a few small bulbs of it a few years ago from a friend and I think I should be able to dig out and divide this fall when I plan on dividing a lot of lilies for the Farmer's Market. The stalks are short and it is not planted in the most ideal condition in the yard so it needs to be moved. I should be able to get you a bulb(s) at that time or in spring.

A few more lilies blooming.

Purchased this spring and still in pots not planted into the garden are...

Carmine Diamond...

Elodie...

Kentucky...

{{gwi:695485}}

Indian Diamond...

{{gwi:698770}}

In the garden are...

Ace of Spades

Couronne D'or

Royal Star

Sunray

{{gwi:702615}}

Brenda

So many lovely pictures! Maybe we'll have to start a separate thread for August, since this one's starting to take awhile to load for me and probably for others too. What does everyone think?

Strawberries and Cream opened for the first time this morning.
{{gwi:702572}}

Shelley, I haven't seen any buds in buds (yet) in my lilies.

A few more this morning...

Just like Laurie's...my Strawberries and Cream opened its buds this morning. I think this one and Pup Art just may be my favorites...

Here are a few Royals...

Royal Lace making a nice clump already.

Royal Fantasy

Royal Present

Royal Respect

{{gwi:699973}}

Phyllis Irene lily was named after Phyllis Pierrepont.

Ibarra

Moneymaker

{{gwi:701154}}

Brenda

Hey Brenda, could you look at the pic of Money Maker I posted on July 15th (this thread) and tell me if yours look like that at all? I thought it was mislabeled but the colour looks right, except for the mottled effect. I didn't get anything else mislabeled from the Lily Nook yet.

Wonderful lilies gals, I'm impressed with all the colours happening!

Yes, I think a seperate thread for August sounds good Laurie, even with my high speed this thread is taking way too long to open, especially after I empty my cookies. LOL

Thanks gals for the ID on Tropical Diamond, the other bulb opened today and it looks just like the first photo too. Now to find out what the other one is? Any possiblities?

Sharon

Gil,

I looked at my Moneymaker closeup and I think you do have the same lily. I will take a picture tomorrow am (right now it is raining here) of a closeup of an individual flower and post it for you. I noticed it has the same amount of spots in the center as mine and the stamens are the same color.

Wonder why the mottled look.

Brenda

Thanks for checking for me Brenda, I don't know why it was like that but I actually liked it!

Shelley, I meant to comment on your bud-in-a-flower, I haven't had anything that odd but if you look on my July 15 post at 'Cheops', the top buds all had funny little tabs on the outsides of the petals. That was so weird.

Does anyone have 'Royal Lace'? I would LOVE to have a bulb or two if possible. I used to have it in a garden at my parent's home, but unfortunately lost it when they sold the house. I would be so appreciative if someone could help me find it again!
