Polkadot Bikini
Has bloomed...just love this little one. It only gets 1 flower on each stem...so it is very precious!

Re: Polkadot Bikini
Hi Claudia,
I love that lily. I think you must be the only one to have it. I've searched the web and can't find any info on it. Do you happen to know what the story is of this lily? It's really unique.

Hi!
This is one of the lilies hybridized by Harold Hoepner.. http://www.wrls.org/about/hod.html
Sweet Lorraine is one of his also. I had another one of his called Schellenbaum...not sure if it returned this year which I am afraid it might not have. Jeanne aka Hapygdnr..not sure she is still around here on Hallson's, sent them to me. They are not available on the market. Only from people who have them and pass them on to others. I have passed some on to several people I know. I need to let mine mutiply this year. I would love to get a couple more of Schellenbaum!

Re: Polkadot Bikini
Hi Claudia & Paul. I'm still around ... now & then... As this bulb matures it does have more than I flower per stem. Heres a shot of a group of mine in flower, not from this year, it will be a bit before thathappens. It is one of my favorites and I got it from Hod himself, so I guess the ones I've got are "OS". I've heard the term originator's stock used in regard to other plants. They are eyecatchers, that's for sure. My all time favorite though is another from him called Spiderman, picture below too.

Ok. I admit it's been a while since I posted. Didn't have time to go back & get that picture of Spiderman on so here it is.

Hi Jeanne,
Good to see you posting! My those are very lovely, and Spiderman is just beautiful. Must be quite an honor to have known Hod and have some of his originator stock.

Re: Polkadot Bikini
Oh Jeanne it is SO good to hear from you!!!
That is good to know about Polkadot Bikini....I will be patient and wait...I just love it. Everyone that sees it wants one!! Spiderman looks cool! I am so afraid that I have lost Schellenbaum....the color on that one just so fit into my red/orange scheme that I have in one bed. I feel like a bad lily mom! I am having lots of boytris and bud drop this spring with all the rain and the hail a couple weeks back.
Don't be a stranger now Jeanne...hope your issues with the city got worked out too!
