The soup is Livin' Large! You will all Love the entries for L, there are so many chose from, unlike certain letters who's names won't be mentioned, but they start with K. Anyway, L leading botanical names are one of the last fat sections of the encyclopedias of plants, so make hay while the sun shines. I am starting with a Little Lavender, and then Leucanthemum Broad Way Lights....and then a Lonicera utahensis which I really should be saving for U, but I am throwing caution to the wind. Toss those lilies and ligusticums, those lipstick plants and the odd landscape into the soup, don't stand on ceremony!

Lachenalia.

A Lily, I have more but this is a martagon called Winnepeggy, sent to me by a friend in Edmonton. Half the bulbs were eaten by bears but a few made it. Moral: don't put blood and bone meal in planting holes in an habitual bear trail, even if it crosses over a new garden. I co-habitate with these big guys, its their river not mine.



Just to illustrate the problem....haha



Just in case anyone is reading this... I will start up M sooner than this Sunday, as March is nigh. Unless there is a sudden flood of Ls.

Both nice shots!

I loves these "L" weed for wild edible or herbs

I loves lily, but the only lilium grows freely in my climates is Lilium formosanum,
These few lilium are grow-able, but need chilling of bulbs for a few months, too much trouble...

this one is really grown and sold as a soup ingredient

Leaping into the 'L's.




Annet isn't in the Database yet.
Neither is this wonderful Lavender.Lost the name tag, but it was either Hidcote or Munstead.

Now for some Daisies or Leucanthemum:

(Sorry - I just checked back to the 'A's and saw that I'd entered this Leucanthemum 'Aglaya' there already! Oops!)


And again, one that isn't registered in the Database yet:


And then there is Lewisia -
And Liatris -
And Liatris Kobold or Floristan Violet?

Leading this group is Ligularia.




Then Linum and Lemon Balm:

And now some Lobelias.


And then another one that's not listed in the Database yet: Lobelia Hot Tiger:



Just 5 more 'L's to go, and then the Lilies.
