Glad you like them. Took another shot this morning from inside the house looking down. Got Joy to let me lower the window and poke the camera outside. She liked that Idea, kept OC out of the yard this morning....

More Sunday Liliums
Two more of God's beautiful Liliums The Std Regale Trumpet has purple stripes on it's side as it is opening. The Alba is the same basic lilium but is white on the sides. Both are 1st year blooms for OC. This fall they will be moved into a shadier spot.
Please enjoy says OC smiling proudly over God's pretty Liliums...

Asiatic Lollipop
OC had a fit trying to take a picture of this Lilium. Not nearly as nice as the one posted earlier by someone else, but this is the best OC could do . It WILL be moved to a shadier spot for next year. OC

Two new Regale Trumpets
God's Liliums are in full bloom now. Three of the ones OC planted in April HAVE JUST BLOOMED. Lots more to come it looks like. OC might add, that Bee loved the pollen. Don't know what he was doing with it, but OC sat out on his deck almost an hour that morning (cool in the mornings this week) and watch this Honey Bee go all the way to the BOTTON of the Lily, roll around in it and could barely fly out. Afraid to get any closer for disturbing him. .....OC saying please enjoy

Mre of God's Liliums
OC had a FIT trying to get the color right on this Peach
Trumpet. When it opened the outside was yellow but the inside looked just like a canteloupe. Did the best he could but this is it. OC made a picture of it full open, not yet edited, but it is a rich yellow inside and out. Probably need to be placed in the shade next year......OC

Try to take it with you body shadowing OC? OR maybe in the morning first thing, or later evening? When the sun isn't so high and bright?
It's gorgeous, but would love to see the true colors too!

OC's Lilium of the day.
OC just can't thank the good Lord enough for the beautiful Lilums HE has grown for OC . It is a Turqs Cap Yellow called Citronella, and no, OC doesn't know if thats is where the bug spray comes from
It starts out as a regular 5 petal Lilium. The next day the color deepens and it recuves. seems to be a real winner. plant wise and photographically....Please enjoy this new Lilium of OC 's. FIrst year Bloom...

Never had any to re-seed,
Did have a few Asiatic to divide in the front bed. I always either replant in the fall or plant new in the spring.
