Hallson Gardens

I few pics from today. It was the nicest weather we have had in quite a while! Testing out the new camera.

Terrific pictures! What kind of camera did you get?

Also, does the orange tiger lily have a name by any chance? We found some lily bulbs growing wild here when we bought the place, I moved them out of the dense shade they were in a year ago last spring and they just opened yesterday and are identical to yours. I don't really think it is wild but maybe a remnant of a garden that was here over 100 years ago (we found an 1852 penny and a 1917 license plate here). We've also found roses and lilacs growing here.

Hey Chris, thanks for the kind words! I ended up buying an Olympus E-3 with a few different lenses. Wow, what a great camera. I'm broke now, but hey, at least it's fun to shoot pictures again. Honestly I don't know of a name for this lily. I always knew it as a "tiger lily" and nothing more. I don't think this is a new hybrid. It also has the bulblets growing up and down the stem, so I'll be transplanting those all over the gardens. I love it.

Beautiful pics! Love that tiger lily.

Every year I mean to get some tiger lilies and never do. I just love them!! Great pics!

Chris, your's could be tiger lily michiganense which is native to North America.

Oh man is right!! Excellent shots!! I don't have any of these either.....I think a long time ago Deb might have gave me some bulb'lets.....but I don't know what the heck I did.....don't have them now.....then Brian gave me and Joan 2 from yours Chris.....and I wrapped them in a tissue in my purse and guess what? Yep......I must have tossed them.... .....Makes me mad....

Thanks for these shots! Totally enjoyed them!!
