Now my yellow/peach colored Lilies are starting to open up. The front is looking good. Except that the first batch is dying off already. That bites as I wanted a photo with a huge amount of them in one shot. Maybe I will soon though as I've still many that have yet to open. Thanks for viewing this and also for loving my gardening discussions. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Those are absolutely gorgeous! Of course, all of your plants are so beautiful. You do such a good job with them. Thanks for continuing to post your pics hon. I love looking at them. I'm starting to get some pretty good ideas for what I want for my yard. Don't be surprised if I start bugging you for tips soon. (If you don't mind, that is. LOL)

These are great! I have four on one open. I'd take a photo but it's dark out! I also have Tiger Lilies, and Ginger Lilies. I won a first place in the county fair with them. /they smell SO good. I have them near my door.

Since planting my Lavendar that's all I smell now. With this thick humid air today the scent was all over the yard. Loved it. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

This is your loveliest photo of your garden flora so far, grandpa! I love the tiger prints in the centre. Such rich colour! Are these a variant of tiger lily? I like lilies but sometimes their scent can be overpowering. For weddings I prefer not to use lilies but other less 'loud' flowers so that it doesn't overpower the occasion. keep gardening! you definitely have a green thumb.

You like it that much huh? Thanks for the kind words also. No these are Asiatic Lilies. I believe Tiger Lilies have a downward appearance of them. There is a difference. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

As I remember, when I had them, they seemed to open up with different colors at a time, which is weird. Like the way your are saying yours are doing. Maybe you want to keep a journal, or better yet a photographic record of each color, and see if it follows suit next year. I gotta get me some more. I had some that were tan. I bought a mixed bag of the bulbs at a year end sale at a garden store, and had flaming red/orange, lemony yellow, and tan. I never grew any of the pink ones. Time to start again.

They are beautiful, but you know that. It must be hard work getting all of those flowers to look so gorgeous with the weather you have.

Not really. I am always outside tending to them. As soon as the flowers start to wilt I take them off tossing them in the lawn for the rabbits to eat. I water them almost daily also. And I weed them a lot too. So it's work but well worth it to see their beauty when opened up. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~
