Most Lilies Open


Most Lilies Open

All in the greenhouse to get them to finish out. A fantastic smell wraps you in its arms as you enter.

Lovely Lilies, GT! I used to grow these on my balcony in Spain. Shame I couldn't have brought them back with me.

Thank you for commenting. I just love these too. I went for oriental for the smell. This was a variety bag of orientals, but that all do look like stargazers, especially with the strong scent. I was hoping for different colors, but I'm still pleased.

This was the peak blooming Arlene, some still going and some began in July. Fun to have the same to enjoy halfway across the globe! I planted the finished ones out in the bed to see if they overwinter and these will come inside to be reserved.

Sad you had to leave yours Balcony.

Beautiful! Can't beat lilies!

I agree. I've been warned the pollen can get in cat fur and they can be poisoned from licking. I'm keeping my eye a little closer peeled now.

Hi GT - I've also been told that their pollen is lethal to cats so stopped either growing them or having them in the house. Such a shame but with 2 cats I just couldn't take the risk.

I think you warned me. :-) She stays out of the plants very well, but I'll be putting them in hard to reach places where she doesn't rub her tail on them or anything. I can't give them up.

I must admit I did get a bit paranoid!

:-) I'm worried, but coming from a farm, I see its just nature. I'll protect her, but the lillies will stay.
