Lily Heaven part 2

A few weeks back I posted web photos of the lilies in my garden. Some are old favorites but many are new this year. As I mentioned in that post, I now have 52 varieties in my garden! In that previous post, I presented the first half of the total group. Here is the second half. I'd love to present photos of the actual flowers in my garden but alas, none are in bloom yet. Fortunately, I've found that for the most part, the photos from the grower's websites are a pretty close representation of their actual color and form. So, here is part two. Enjoy!


My Wedding. A gorgeous pure white double.


Orange Electric. Bloomed prolifically last year!


Playtime. Love everything about this variety - the way the red and golds pop against the white background and the delicate spotting. Can't wait to see the real thing!


Purple Prince. Simple but a glorious color!


Rising Moon. This large trumpet lily offers sumptuous colors.


Royal Sunset. An Asiatic type with a sunny palette.


Another new addition, this Salmon Party has delicious creamy orange ribs.


Scheherazade. There's nothing to match the vibrant colors on this Orienpet lily!!


Silk Road. Another fabulous Orienpet lily.


Remember those 'Got milk?' commercials? This 'Solution' lily could be the poster girl for 'Got spots?'


Sumatra. Just an unbelievably rich blood red color!


Lily superbum Lankongense.  Delicate and I love the recurved petals.


Sweet Surrender. I do surrender to the subtle charms of this floriferous Asiatic lily.


The Edge. Nope, not the guitarist from U2 but a vivid Asiatic variety. 


Tiger lily 'Red Flavor.' I'm hoping that this new addition is as colorful as the grower's photo!


Tiger Moon. This Oriental lily offers up the most delectable lemony colors!


Lilium tigrinum splendens. One of the best tiger lilies!


Tropic Moon. This hybrid trumpet lily has yet to flower in my garden but fingers crossed for this year. Though reliable, sometimes lily bulbs need to get to a certain size before having the strength to bloom.


Arbatax. A new Asiatic for this year. Orchid pink!!


Giraffe. My favorite lily from last year! Vivid colors, bloomed prolifically and each flower lasted a long time. 


Lilium leitchtlinii. This Asiatic lily has proven durable and prolific. Petals are slightly recurved but not all the way. Beautiful spotting!


Portland. This Oriental type has slightly narrower petals but still has the signature spotting common to Orientals.


Flavia. Can't wait to see this Orienpet bloom!


Lilium regale. One of the most famous trumpet lilies and hailing from China!


Patricia's Pride. Reminds me a bit of Black Eye, another variety in my garden.


Last and not least, there is a new type of Lily called a Roselily. This pollen-free double Oriental is the latest and the greatest. I planted a mixed colors bag of nine bulbs so we'll see what develops.
