Different flower shape. That photo looks like Asiatic, not Oriental lilies. Different flower shape.

I was so disappointed. I need to get some more for next year, though. I usually post every week on GTS, but the last two weeks I've just been really busy getting caught up with my blogging from our trip to Columbus. I'll be back tomorrow! :-) My orientals disappeared this year, too! I was so disappointed. I need to get some more for next year, though.

I'm new at them and with our dry dry spring, they look ed quite pitiful. But hopefully, they'll settle in and multiply a bit. Love the glow of your lilies!

It was just terrible. We watered in the evenings on those hot days but I think the dry earth and dehydrated plants just sucked it up and conserved their energy rather than growing lush as they normally do when they are well watered and the temps are a bit more reasonable. I'm glad we don't have fire ants here! I stepped on a mound in Florida once and got a few bites. Luckily I realized what I'd done right away (I was also moving away from the mound at the time too so I didn't get too many on me). Richard we even had temps up over 100 here in Toronto.

As I said weekly is the preference but if you can't do it any more than every second week that's ok too. Remember any nature or landscape type photos are acceptable as well, that might widen the topic for you. I had to look up Pixie Lilies - they are an Asiatic lily ... like Tiger lilies. All of these lilies have similar features but the most prized feature of Oriental lilies are their strong fragrance. I don't believe any of the Asiatic lilies have scent. I just visited your site and the photos are lovely as usual! Deb I don’t mind (and I don’t think anyone else does either) if our members don’t post every single week.

Anyhooo, I do have pixie lilies...is that the same thing? They only bloom once a year and they're orange, not white like yours. We haven't purchase bulbs yet...still early I think for us here in TN. You'll have to come by and see what's blooming around my house this week! And thanks, Jean, for sorting through the blogroll!

It was up over 100 for quite some time at my house. Fire ants and fleas are the only things that really flourished this year. I am down in Georgia. It was up over 100 for quite some time at my house.

I think they actually start selling them here in late August through to the end of September or early October so I might even be a bit late! I didn't go out to buy any today. I'll have to go tomorrow if I want to get any. Genie yes nows the time to get bulbs if you’re going to.
