Things are taking off very nicely, I'd say. A little ways off from bloom here. Appreciating the pictures

Finally my lollipop!

Looks delicious!

Used some of the last charge on the camera battery in the rain to take these photographs. Is that dedication or what.

That's a nice plant! What's the cultivar name? Louis XIV maybe??

I don't know. Didn't get it intentionally, only think I can think of is it was a mixup on one I did order.. These photos are of it blooming last year.

This is Summer Valley, blooming now:

That Summer Valley is beautiful.

I like it Lorn. I believe it is a Mak-Leek lily. There is another that is more outfacing called Sun Valley, I'm not sure I still have it. Will post if it shows up!

Pearl Melanie is new for me this year. The first photo with Triteleia Queen Fabiola in the background (blue flowers):



A slightly higher angle shows some of my Japanese irises in the background:

Pearl Melanie looks to have nice form. I've been disappointed with the rest of the Pearl series, but Melanie looks nice. And Summer valley is a lovely flower. Nice

It does have a nice form/inflorescence and I agree on the rest of the Pearl series. Pearl Melanie is different from the others in that it was not hybridized by Griesbach.

ooh. It's on my list now, if it ever makes it to Aus. Who is the hybridiser?

I don't remember the hybridizer (if I ever knew) but likely one of the Dutch companies. You might check the 4th Supplement to the Lily Register or maybe I can volunteer Lorn to look it up. It isn't in the previous supplements.

Adobe reader is giving me grief. Any help is appeciated

Well I can't open it either. Lorn can. We probably need to download the latest version. I haven't tried doing that yet.

Lorn to the rescue!
