alan, you've got some beautiful lillies!!! i especially like 1, 2, 5, 7 and 8.

could you put names on each pic?

Hi Alan,

So where are you hiding all these lillies. I didn't think there was room for anything else in your yard. I have three ditch lillies that I got in a trade but they aren't anything but leaves yet. Hopefully I'll see a bloom sometime this year.

Joclyn: because I have so many plants, unfortunately I don't label most of them. I thought about having a journal with all the names listed, but I decided that would be too much work! The only ones I know for sure are
#1 Tom Pouce, #2 Chianti, #6 Monte Negro and #7 Cancun.

Hey Alan,

Your right journalizing is a bunch of work. I'm using my post here for most of my journal work because I find that I mention just about everything I do on here somewhere. And I always note what blooms when, where and when I planted it, and I'm even getting around to noting the scientific names as well as the common ones. Pretty soon I'll be acting like a real gardener lol. Now I've started taking out hint and tips that are time sensitive and sticking them in a seperate documents that I can keep track of so next year I have a better handle on when things need to be done. It's like Bills calendar but about my specific plants.

Thanks bunches for sharing.....love your lilies.

For this "New Year" help me to be kinder and more loving to all around me, I pray.

wow! thanks Alan those are beautiful! after looking at your pictures, I realized that you have the lily that inspired my post(a question about lilies)

the one I saw at the store was your #2...chianti.
there was only one stem and bloom, but if I plant it soon, maybe by next year, it would bush out a bit.
thanks for sharing.

i just started something in my favs folder...

a folder titled Current Plants with subfolders for all the things i currently have. the subfolders have links to info on caring for that particular item as well as general info like classification.

not a journal, per se, but it's keeping me organized a bit

Alan I LOVE that #8 Too bad you don't know it's name. . .
What kind of things do you or anyone put around your lillys for the time while they are all leaves. I have 2 plants they didn't bloom last year until mid July and they are kind of boring in the mean time
