One of the buds on the Lily I have with over a dozen buds has opened this morning. These are my second favorite Lilies I have planted. This color is such a deep and vibrant orange isn't it? I love these a lot. next will be the sunshine yellow Tigers to open. What color lilies do you have? If you have none what is your favorite color of lily? Or any flower for that matter.

I love tiger lillies, I like the orange ones too, I thought that was the only colour they came in though so it is surprising to find that there are other colours too. I could have lillies now if I wanted too, I could never have them before because I had cats and I was told that they were poisonous to them. I used to tell my cats if they misbehaved I would give them lillies for their tea!

Because I live in Canada I thought I would add this to my response for those who didn't know.
WESTERN RED LILY
The red lily is the floral emblem of Saskatchewan Canada.
It grows in wet places (meadows, ditches and wooded areas).
The flower blooms from late June to mid July.
It is a beautiful flower with reddish-orange blossoms.
When the pioneers first came to the prairies
there were thousands of lilies blooming.
This flower is now protected .
This means that you should not pick the lily.
It grows from a bulb so once the bulb is pulled out
the flower will no longer grow.
This flower was put on the Saskatchewan
flag to remind people of wild flowers.
I saw a picture one time of a lily, it was so pink it was almost purple with almost black highlights. It was the most georgous looking thing and I instantly wished I could have seen it with my own eyes. Outside of that I really don't have a favorite color I also like calla lillies and they're just white.

Thanks very much. Any variety of lily will grow if you dig the bulb up and transplant it. Lilies also spread very easily.

I love the orange ones because they used to grow outside my grandparents' house. I also love those vines with the trumpet blossoms on them. Grandpa was so allergic to them but wouldn't let anyone tear them down because they were so beautiful. Same with the tiger lilies, he let those orange lilies grow all over!
