That 'Centerfold' is one of my faves too, Pandora. It looks so elegant, doesn't it? :D

I think these are the last ones to bloom. The first two pics are of Lilium 'Dizzy' and the last pic is of an Oriental Hybrid called 'Angelique'.

Thanks for looking at my lilies and all the nice comments. I'm hoping to pick up some more when I am up at Hallson's this next weekend. :wink: See some of you there! :D

I came home with several new Lilies after my trip to Hallson's this weekend. I got an O.T. Hybrid called 'Zagora' and the following Asiatic Lilies:
Cappuccino
Orange Art
Elodie (currently in bloom)
Honey Bee (also in bloom)
Lavita
Black Spider(this one was missing the picture tag, but I'm pretty sure that Chris told me it was an Asiatic.)
Now I just have to find spots to plants them. I'll work on that this week. :D

Here is 'Elodie".  It's a very soft and delicate pink.

And here is the 'Honey Bee'. Some people didn't care for this one, but I thought it was really cool looking. :wink:
Some of the petals on these had lots of the dark center , while others only had a little bit.

I'm pretty sure this one is Orange Art.  I forgot to name the pic when I first downloaded it.

This one is another tango lily and is more yellowish with the dark center.

Joan, I love my Centerfold Lily, so unusual. :o

I think that Shocking has the most intense fragrance of all my lilies. :D

And my Tom Pounce died without ever blooming. :(

I think Honey Bee is pretty cute and I love the name. :P

My last two lilies are now blooming. I got these at Hallsons a few weeks ago. Here's some pics. :)

It's called 'Lavita'.  The flash on my camera went off because it was overcast and early in the morning when I took this. (about 6:30am)

Sorry that close-up of 'Lavita' is so blurry, but I was in a hurry since I didn't want the neighbors to see me out there in my robe taking pics that early in the morning. :lol: They probably already think I'm a bit odd about my plants. :wink:
Here's the other one.

and here's a close up....hope it's a better one than the last one.

Most of them are new to me ....in the last couple years. I bought several at Hallson's this year and last year. The blooms are so beautiful and you can hardly wait to see the buds open up. :D

Wow, you have some BEAUTIFUL lilies! and quite a variety of color. I never wandered in earlier to see them, so they're extra pretty now that it's winter. lol!

I can see why you were taken with 'Honey Bee', and that 'Centerfold' is very unusual.

I have several asiatics and orientals, some the same as yours.... what I'd *really* like is L. canadensis (Canada Lily). It's such a cute little flower!!! My BF's SIL inheritied them with her house, it took me years to ID them, and I've begged for a division SEVERAL times over the course of several years. sigh. Still no Canada Lily here. :P
