Strange.<br /><br />I imagine that the orange/yellow/red lilies would be popular now even if it's not the greatest time to be planting. We get a lot of hardy plants in around now as "fall annuals" including coral bells and even little 4" pots of Euonymus so it's possible this is why there are aAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347983770474369842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-68055193902533270832009-09-10T18:21:51.190-07:002009-09-10T18:21:51.190-07:00It does look pretty short, so at least the "T...It does look pretty short, so at least the "Tiny" part makes sense. But "Ghost"?

And it's a whole book? I will pass, thank you very much! Asiatics forced to bloom now wouldn't be ideal for adding to the garden...unless it's a new variety for the fall garden?? The foliage seem lighter in color and finer in texture than the norm...pretty nonetheless.lynn'sgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104383899991317740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-4245569033226102092009-09-10T06:43:05.273-07:002009-09-10T06:43:05.273-07:00'Tiny Ghost' didn't make much sense to...'Tiny Ghost' didn't make much sense to me either. There is a whole series of <i>Lilium</i> named Tiny something or other, though. "Ghost" doesn't seem right for a red flower, but they didn't ask me. Or you either, for that matter.mr_subjunctivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14113199755474482747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-68317308692915545542009-09-10T06:37:30.017-07:002009-09-10T06:37:30.017-07:00Hmmm.

As for Baxter, people who boil brine shrimp alive in the name of pseudo-science make my blood, well, boil. He should have boiled some spinach or, say, stuck his own hand in the water and charted the plants' reactions!our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
