Hallson Gardens

Planted April one and bloomed mid June....Not bad..A really very striking Lilium. With it's shinny hard red covering....OC

Jus had to post the rest of them !! OC

This is a Turks Cap WHite (don't know it's name-was bought in an assortment with the Yellow Ones) It too started out as a flate White, but it sure didn't take long to put up it's recurved form...OC

Those are beauties, OC, thanks for posting!

ID it as a White Tiger Lilium.

Found out the name of the White Turks cap OC posted yesterday. It is actually a Tiger Lilium named Sweet Surrender. Got the name form a member on
another board that recognized it..OC

John, the pictures on page 2 are out of this world!!!! when I clicked on Multiple Yellow Asiatic picture, that was beautiful!! ALL of them are good.....And your Black Jack looks just like this one I bought yesterday while getting pine bark nuggets......it's called Monte Negro Lily.....it is a Asiatic one....but it's very dark.....It caught my eye from a ways a way....

Thanks for sharing the picture's Coot!! I enjoyed looking!!

and He hopes you does as good as his...

Another pretty Lilium that is in full bloom for OC is this Golden Stargazer.
It is an Oriental planted last fall....Enjoy -

is Asiatic New Wave. Got it from Chris in April and it is blooming great. Will move it out into the yard with some others this fall. Needs to be in the shade. It is actually chalk white. Picked up the pink tint in editing..Did used a Polorazier on this one.

Another Lilium that the heat got to before OC could take it's picture....92-95** for a week and no rain, OC can't water like the good Lord does, just ain't the same. This Lilium, the Asiatic Aphrodite will be planted in the yard in more shade this fall.....OC

This Lilium was planted outsided our sun room and staked early because it was getting tall This week had to double stake it. It is higher that OC's head. ALMOST couldn't reach up to take the picture. The name on the packing slip said:

LANCIFOLIUM (formerly Tigerinum ) Diploid

It has a lot of blooms. Have several other that have not yet bloomed, but have pods. We GOT a RAIN last night - THANK YOU LORD- maybe they will bloom too.....

Enjoy.....OC grinning with pride

Two more beautiful Liliums Chris sent me this spring. The double Lilium Fata Morganna as it opens, and a Liliums classic Sphnix Enjoy sayeth O C - more to come next week...

They are all just gorgeous, OC! I especially loved the orange trumpet one and the centerfold. You certainly have a slew of beautiful lilies!

as he ALWAYS is. After OC's Iris were such a failure this year, he was really worried about his Liliums.But then Every time time it seem the heat would get them,the good Lord watered them for OC, and HE does a so much better job than OC does. Had a woderful rain, Friday night and again Sunday almost all day ...Liliums on the deck wih pods ready to open are now bursting at the seems. They haver turned really green and have grown taller with thicker stems. Thanks yoiu Lord for all your many blessings. OC being in an especially THANKFUL mood today.

Wonderful pics, OC. I have the citronella lily, have had it for 8 or 9 years or so. It comes back every year, though it does not increase like my asiatics do. I have the orange trumpet, too, and it's really hard to even describe the color of that one. Every pic I've seen of it shows it more orange than it really is. Thanks for sharing the bounty God has blessed you with.

You embaress this Old Coot. But God has been gracious to him this summer, and the rain HE sent us last week-end had OC's deck ablaze with glory this Morning. More pictures as soon as OC can edit them ...John

It give OC GHREAT pleasure to post this purple Calla Lily. It was a birthday prfesent that year from one ofv our members, Karma_happy_toes. (I hope that that is right, but you know OC's mind) Made a beauiful Stem with lots of folliage and a beautiful Purple Bloom.

That Old Coot named John saying thank you for the Gift.

earlier OC posted, a single Lancifoilim Blloom (Species) Here is a picture of the whole stem in bloom....

ENjoy OC

Got this one from Chris last year in April, bloomed beautifully. Replanted in the fall, and this year is outdoing its self. Lots of blooms all over the stems. Enjoy-- OC with a BIG SMILE
