Wow the trumpets are blooming. Enjoy. These are all seedlings from the same mix. First a few friends!

Working and playing!

 Today was clean up day and I was going to take a little inventory but got lost in the clean up and did not do a lot of recording. The shots are of seedling lilies which are over summering in pots. I am hoping they grow good bulbs but it has been wet and cool these last days so who knows what might happen. Then there are some random shots of lilies in bloom and I wish I could get some help with identity on some of these. Anyway here they are.
Note the Griesbach tetras in picture 3. The seeds for this batch came from Lily over at The Suburban Gardener.






What this all means is a lot of bulbs to get into the ground this fall!











 Lilium "Sterling Star". Bought the bulb from the Rockwood Gardens Catalogue many years ago. They have long since gone out of business. They were a low price clearing house for small sized bulbs, shrubs, and trees.
 I need to find this bag label as I have forgotten this one. Still a nice lily when the rain has not beat it up!
 This one is so hardy but again no name as the person who gave them to me did not get the name from his father. The color is not nearly as good here as it is in real life.
 A new seedling for which I did not have a tag or lost it en route to the pot originally.
 A few of the trumpet lilies. They are doing so well this year and growing so tall that I really should stake them but I cannot find tall bamboo yet.
