for Denise..at last :o)

I got some of this too Bloomer - mines will flower soon :)

It's exciting,Scottish,when you see the first flower,isn't it?
I only saw it as I was doing some dead heading this afternoon..as it is now evening,it is already starting to go over..but about four more buds to come :o)

What a lovely colour Bloomer worth the wait and it blends beautifully with it's neighbours :o)

It is,Neena..I didn't expect such a vibrant colour..don't know why...I am not familiar with these at all,but it's definitely welcome :o)

I used to have some but they disappeared, I have some other Lilies in a pot they are in bud at the moment a nice peach colour :o)

That's a shame,Neena..I hope mine don't..I did put little sticks in to remind me where they were..trouble is,I have a lot of little sticks..Lol.I really must make an effort and label them properly :o)

Thats lovely Bloomer the colour is rich. After taking some years to establish (originally planted too near a dark dry fence) I find you only need one of these to get several more each year. Isnt it lovely to see our swapped plants in other gardens.

Love the idea of your little sticks! wouldn't work for me though - I'd forget what they were there for :o)

Glad you have seen it Denise..it's a beauty isn't it?
I shall look forward to seeing more of them..Do I take off the flowers as they die,or just leave them please?
I guess I won't have the pleasure of seeing the other flowers open,as we are going away on Saturday..so I am happy it decided to show itself beforehand..and yes,it's amazing how many of our plants are thriving in other gardens..

That's why I should label them,Neena..I forget too ! Lol.It's been a case of being careful where I put my feet,more than anything..so I know there is something there..:o)

Yes I dead head mine to keep them flowering and leave the foliage to die back removing them when yellow and dry.

Gorgous colour! I have some Sandra but they havent flowered for the past 2 years so I split them up last year. looking healty but no sign of flowers!

Thanks Denise..helpful as always :o)

Aren't they just,Carole..shame your haven't flowered for a while..maybe they will surprise you when we get back..are you all packed up yet? All ours done,and raring to go :o)

All ready Sandra, nice relaxing evening now with a glass of Red starting early lol [Ive put a little blog on Izzy if you want to peep;0) ]

Just finished all the watering,got the hose pipe on tonight..and NOW we are finally sitting down at 9.30pm..you might have to knock us up in the morning :o)

beautiful.
