I have been fighting with a torn ??? in my right shoulder but still managing to get some things planted with this long beautiful fall we are having. A month ago I bought a few bulbs at the local Lily Society fall sale. All the bulbs looked so healthy
My finds were: Bronze Queen, Salmon Cream, Lilium henryii citrinum, Doeskin, White Tiger, and Dolly Madison. A good range of color and all good sized bulbs. You can find pictures of some of them here.

There are also a number of pots of seedlings which I either need to get into the ground or under lights in larger pots!

So far there are a few selections of seeds as well to be sorted out. Actually there are some stems with large pods standing in water waiting for the pods to ripen. These are trumpets so I am going to be very pleased if they make it and have viable seed. May be a chance to share a few as well. You can see the plants in my Picasa Lily Album

Honeywood Heritage Nursery

My wife Marg and I dropped in on the Honeywood Nursery this week at Parkside, Saskatchewan. The clear ares you can see are some of the flower growing spaces. You can connect with them on this website. I was amazed at how finished blooming the fields were. All we saw was a row of yellow Asiatics "Sutter's Gold" and a few Tiger types. This variety was blooming at and in the greenhouse.

 

According to the tag this is Golden Ace. Has a nice yellow face. Another lily I found did not have a tag which was too bad. A very unique flower.

I am sure I have seen this before but I need help here. Leave your comment with the name!

Another interesting find at the farm was this tobacco plant which had been bought as a seedling at the Saskatoon Farmer's Market in spring. It grew very well here in the north central Saskatchewn.

First martagon for me

My very first martagon bloomed this year. I bought it at a Canadian Prairie Lily Society sale. It is Brocade and the blooms were somewhat small. I have a couple of seedlings but they are still very small.

Martagon lily bulbs

Bought these Martagons today from a local person in Saskatoon. Very nice collection of plant material. Hope I can visit there again.

The group of three on the left are a heritage Martagon which he says his father brought over from when they came to Canada. The other is a cream colored one which if and when it blooms it may be possible to identify.

Lilies on Picasaweb

You can see a few lilies uploaded in an album on Picasaweb. There are many bloomng right now and I hope to get some more pictures up soon. Here are couple of very nice seedlings.

Trumpets are coming!

This group of Trumpet Lilies are seedlings from Mirek in Poland. They are a great collection and this is the first year blooming in this new spot. Some have bloomed in past years so the bulbs were good size. I am rechecking the naming with the older pictures but this should be:

 


Mirek #1













 Mirek #9













 Mirek # 14












 
 Miek #15

Lily Ed Brooman

I have lost the tag for this one. It is about 4 feet tall and in reality a stronger rust red.

New flowers breaking

Well the next round of lilies are beginning to bloom.

This is a new seedling. I think it is from a Tango parent.

A bright little Yellow Pixie.
