Ah, the blooms of summer. I do love lilies. Such lovely color varieties.
I have collected a few varieties through the years, of course not keeping their tags, so I can't share with you their names.
I tend to pick plants not only for their looks, but also for their names. So I am quite sure they were very clever monikers.
While most of my lilies are thriving in my sun garden, this asiatic lily is in a partial shade spot, and proudly shows off for several days before going in to hiding for the season. This year lovage is growing amongst it, making for a very pretty companion planting.
While not a lily, but rather lily-like, the lime green nicotania looks lovely amoungst the lillies. ( say that fast three times...)
What's blooming in your garden?
Nice! I love the pic of the asiatic lily and the lovage (which I've never heard of or planted). I also planted lime green nicotania~ we must be related. Not everyone appreciates the lime green, but I think it's unique and pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy giant pink lilies just bloomed this morning, they look like Stargazers, but of course I threw away the tag and can't remember what they are for sure. I just hope they survive winter and come back again next year!
ReplyDeleteMy pink lilies just bloomed this morning, they look like Stargazers but aren't, I can't remember their name, I will have to look through all the plant tags I pulled out that are SOMEWHERE on my gardening table. Beautiful!
