This shot shows a few of my lilies alongside my house. They are doing great once again this year. These were transplanted from the front of the house last fall. I was afraid they would not grow in this area as it is a very clay based soil area. But alas, they are doing superb. In a few days or a weeks time my other lilies will flower. I have pink, white, chocolate colored ones and others yet. Do you like lilies at all? Do you have sandy soil or clay soil in your garden beds?

and have a sweet smell!lol I so envy you with your garden and
fresh flowers! I so wish that I could have fresh veggies and
fresh flowers in my house all summer long! I just so love the
smell of fresh flowers when you first walk into someones home!

The best is when the Lilcas bloom.
I cut a bunch a few days in a row setting them in a vase
in the dining room. Makes the whole house smell great.

I love lilies....but don't have any as I am gone so much of the time that I really can't take care of them. I have yet to fill my pots with flowers. Been on vacation and will go back to work tomorrow.....then rummage sale next weekend. Hopefully there will still be flowers to choose from next week.

we have a few,but not as many as i'd like yet.
our soil is the richest black on top,with an underlying sandyness.
ocean side dirt,basically.

Grandpa Bob hi, love lilies my mom always grew just tiger lilies
which were pretty but I liked all the other colors too. She was
crazy about calla lilies too and they are sort of pretty but
the cannas I just do not like, i don't know why , guess its the odd
colors of them or something. I like all the lilies with the pretty pinks and reds in the them.Wonder if they have blue lilies, I never saw one.

My lilies have just finished blooming. I guess the soil is more clay (with lots of rocks thrown in for good measure)...
