At one time I had many lilies, mostly trumpets and Asiatics... I still have them but the labels have disappeared and I discovered I can still enjoy them even if I don't know their names. And I love the fragrance of the trumpets. But it will be another month for lily bloom here, except for the martagons, which are just starting to bloom now. They are a special interest for me and I do keep track of their names! I find them to be very long-lived... I have lost very few. I have 36 named cultivars, and the first one for 2015 bloomed today!
'Maroon King' This is a new one, planted fall of 2013, and so first time I've seen it!
Above is a mature clump of the white species. The small stem with the pink flowers at the bottom of the photo is a self-seeded first bloom. I have no idea of its parentage, I had hoped it would be white since this is its 3rd year after appearing close to the white species, but no such luck!
This is small but I will take it. I moved a lot of the baby bulbs around last fall so not sure where I may have tucked it here & there. My deer seems to have not eaten anything new the last 2 nights even though she has been out here the last 2 evenings. I can't get too mad at her. She is a very small doe and looks very thin.
