The only problem with them is the red lily beetle. If you get these evil bugs in your garden, it's a battle trying to get rid of them. And they can strip a lilium of its leaves (and even destroy buds/flowers) within a few short days. I'm dealing with that problem right now with some of my liliums. And it's not much fun.<br /><br />Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-55984835493283856142010-06-14T18:07:56.191-07:002010-06-14T18:07:56.191-07:00Mr_S,

Of course, my post is a pale imitation, completely superficial compared to your masterful treatment of the subject matter;)<br /><br />Never seen the NOID designation before. It sounds much more respectable than "I lost Christine B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08335289758548637661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-13581347637141986902010-06-14T09:59:31.463-07:002010-06-14T09:59:31.463-07:00Lilies, one can NEVER have to many.My fav's ar...Lilies, one can NEVER have to many.My fav's are the ones called "Orienpet", it's a cross between a trumpet lily and a oriental.They are unbelievable.cconzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246952905314075231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-69850780047568071672010-06-14T09:21:38.961-07:002010-06-14T09:21:38.961-07:00Asiatic lilies are the only kind I like -- Callas ...Asiatic lilies are the only kind I like -- Callas and Daylilies leave me cold. I just love that there are so many blooms on a single stalk! There's a farm (http://www.earthboundgardens.com/index.html) about a 3 hr drive away that I've been dying to visit -- nothing but lilies there and apparently you can smell them long before you get there. <br /><br />Nice pics, Mr. S!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-89913922184182642202010-06-14T08:13:47.851-07:002010-06-14T08:13:47.851-07:00I keep wanting to like lilies, but never quite can...I keep wanting to like lilies, but never quite can. Something about the leaves -- such a strange pipe-cleaner like frizz of leaves and then suddenly flowers. And the super dwarf ones just freak me out -- dwarfed out of all sense of proportion with disturbingly large flowers like a skinny woman with HUGE fake boobs.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433418903218452909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-34381508242059084152010-06-14T06:16:04.371-07:002010-06-14T06:16:04.371-07:00I spent Saturday taking photos of lilies growing i...I spent Saturday taking photos of lilies growing in a friend's garden. When they are happily situated there is nothing like the show (well, until the next group of flowers bloom; you know what I mean!!!) You have so much variety and the colors...sigh! Lovely.
