OMG...I'm in love with your Lilies! I just planted 'Sarabande' this spring...and it looks like it might have one or two buds on it...so excited!
ReplyDeleteI see the tiger is roaming your garden too. I have fallen in love with lilies. I am going to try to find more to plant. Happy GBBD.
ReplyDeleteHappy GBBD! I see it's lily season on a lot of blogs right now. I don't tire of seeing them though. So beautiful! (BTW, we are seldom bothered by mosquitoes here in Washington state. I'm not completely sure why. Although we get a lot of rain, possibly it doesn't really get hot enough for them to proliferate.)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Philip absolutely beautiful

ReplyDeleteHi Philip! Is it just be or is your photography improving by leaps and bounds? Not that it wasn't excellent before, but I'm finding myself just soaking it in... Sheherazade is absolutely gorgeous in your capture!

Oh yes, Alison's right, just one more reason to move to paradise. Or Portland:) Your blooms all look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have always liked lilies and those Naked Ladies are every bit as pretty as their namesakes.
ReplyDelete"seldom bothered by mosquitoes" - you guys are killing me!
ReplyDeleteI'm growing Persicaria 'Red Dragon' for the first time this year and loving it. I've already cut it back once to keep it in bounds a bit. It is flowering again. Such a dainty flower. It all looks great there.~~Dee
ReplyDeleteLovely blooms! We are finally getting some rain-maybe I'll get some relief on my water bill! Have a great week! Blessings
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blooms. Remember the tiger lilies from way, way back. The begonia and container are awesome paired together!
ReplyDeleteMy Scheherazade is blooming, but my Naked Ladies haven't yet. I lost several lilium last year, but still have around 20 varieties.
ReplyDeleteHi Phillip, Love your naked ladies. I've planted them a couple of times and got nothing. Is there a secret to them, do you know? Love your garden!
ReplyDeleteMy garden is a mess right now, too, but the heat is keeping me out of it even more than the mosquitoes. I always thought mosquitoes liked me because I was sweet, but now I find out they like people with type O blood:)
ReplyDeleteAll your lilies are beautiful! I've been "touring" your garden via Tina's posts--what a magnificent garden you have, Phillip!
So jealous of those naked ladies. Maybe I should give them a try even though I am technically out of their zone range. Perhaps with a good layer of mulch they will not notice.
ReplyDeleteAmazing lilies! That orange daylily is perhaps the most striking I have seen. And how interesting to see blooms of aloe vera - here it grows only indoors as a houseplant, never blooms. Very cool.
ReplyDelete"Scheherazade" is amazing! Tiger Lily is 3-D, what a wonderful shot!
ReplyDeleteEverybody is out there posting all these gorgeous lily pix, and I'm over here fussing over my one lonely lily! Lovely Phillip, truly!
ReplyDeleteAs usual, beautiful photos. I much enjoyed my visit today. I try hard here on the shores of Lake Michigan, but I'll never get the kind of photos you have. They are awesome.JC
