Well, my collection of lilies are beginning to pop so I thought I'd share a few of them. They encompass the popular, widely colored Asiatic types, the fragrant Oriental kinds, the large Trumpet lilies, the new and exciting Orienpet types and an assortment of Tiger lilies. Enjoy!
Lily Montego Bay. Love the colors here on this Orienpet lily.
Lily Tribal Dance. One of the many Asiatic types I have in my garden.
Lily African Queen. My favorite Trumpet lily, it has the richest caramel-orange throat!
Tiger lily. Not all tiger lilies are orange. Here's a golden one with brown blotches, not the familiar spotting. It's part of a Tiger lily mix I added to my garden 5 years ago.
Here's another tiger lily in the above mentioned mix. This one is sort of an orange soda orange, with a generous amount of spots.
Lily Purple Marble. This Asiatic lily is a bit unusual as it features a solid color, with no splashes or solid throats. Just a vibrant burgundy color.
Here are two new lilies. The larger one in the center is L. Anastasia, an orienpet type. The lily on the left is normally more of a vibrant rd (newest flowers show that color) and is an Asiatic type called Pearl Loraine.
One of my favorite lilies has returned better than ever. This is L. Night Rider, an unusual specialty lily that is a cross between a Trumpet lily and an Asiatic. Such a rich color.
Here are a few more flowers from my garden, starting with the vigorous Snapdragon Double Azalea Apricot. A long and prolific bloomer, it's part of a series grown by Annie's Annuals.
Bronze fennel. I planted it to attract Anise Swallowtail butterflies, who lay their eggs on its foliage.
Teucrium aroanium. A low growing germander that always seems to be in bloom, it's a bee magnet!
Billbergia Casa Blanca. One of my favorite bromeliads.
Buddleja davidii variegated leaf. Love those rich purple flowers.
Here's a wide shot of my initial Japanese bed, featuring a host of dwarf conifers.
