These were from just before Christmas - such amazing flowers. First is Oriental Lillium Georgette (though I called her 'Squashed Bananas' - a term of endearment...) The rosemary helped hold her up and gave her a bit of shade - now the cucumbers are growing over the remnant foliage :roll:

And these are second year mixed Asiastics - the yellows in particular really took off...

Oh I do like the cream ones Luzy, smell good do they ?might have to invest in some of those :oops:

Thanks for reminding me, Thee! I meant to add - for Pam's reference - that they had a very pleasant, light smell, with just a touch of frangipani to it. I'm sure that Pam won't believe me...

And they were gorgeous - really big flowers.

I love those squashed bananas, I love white lillies but none of mine come up this year :cry:

Sounds like they may have gone to GOD :evil:

I've had a lot of that this year!

Aren`t the yellows stunning

I love the bright clear colours of the asiatics - that yellow is very nice

Both lilliums look great Luzy! So many blooms AND buds, especially on the yellow one!
I really need to put in more effort with my lilliums this year and transplant into the ground instead of pots I think!

Same here SL :oops:

They do seem to like being in the same spot, Spider Lily - those yellow ones were so much bigger and with more flowers than last year. I must remember to fertilise them again, too...

Beautiful, Luzy. I believe they will grow quite well here but I have no luck with them.

by **Spider Lily** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 4:37 pm

Abwal, as much as I love them I have a feeling that lilliums are going to be a plant that I will have no luck with. I will persist for a couple of seasons though (yn)

Nope I still like the cream one :roll:
