Today's Lilies

Some great cultivars bloomed today that weren't out yesterday so I had to share- ENJOY!
Above is Tuscawilla Tigress (Hansen 88), has been blooming its heart out for the last couple of weeks, 7 inches plus.


Above is Topguns Gold Mine from Bob Scott in Oklahoma- got it as a bonus, but I would have paid full price if I knew then what I know now. Always looks neat and always double.


Double Bold One, above, in contrast, ALWAYS looks like it just got out of bed.


Even with a small "crop" I've got enough to make a nice little display to enjoy while watching tv.
I have discovered if I pick them after 6 I don't even need to put them in water. Shot glasses make GREAT containers for single blooms, as do juice glasses.



This is my star of the day: Point of View (Roberts 92) , over 7 inches and STUNNING! A bit hard to find, this one was given to me by GSDG President Dick Dardas, but it's worth going to the ends of the earth for! THAT's ALL FOLKS!
