Bloomin' Lilies...

As promised here are a few more pics of my bloomin' lilies! They will be at their peak this next week or so.... wouldn't you know- right when I'm away for a few days... They are beautiful though, don't you think? Worth the time and energy spent on destroying the Lily Beetles. Those little devils are still around- I find one every now and again, so if you have liles continue to be vigilant!
The color is a bit off in these pics- this first one which burst into bloom this morning, is actually a lovely pale peach - I love it amidst the baby's breath. This red one, called Gran Paradiso is a rich bronzey red. The yellow one below is a yellow spotted Turk's Cap lily - it is new this year as is the Gran Paradiso. The last one is a lovely cream with a slight touch of yellow. It's always fun to plant new bulbs, because what you get is not always what the picture on the package showed... I've been "surprised" a few times...but that's all part of the fun of gardening...

I'm off to Augusta Maine tomorrow, for the Maine State Quilt Show and two days of classes. So, toodley-do for now....
Piece,
Linda
