After a visit to a friends garden a few years ago, I planted some lily's. I have never been sorry! Every year they are taller, than the year before and the smell is really quite unbelievable- my entire yard smells like perfume!

Ohhhh, lovely! Mine have lots of blooms this year, but are not open yet. I also had to have them after seeing them, they're so majestic! I dont buy many new plants at the nursery (too cheap) but i splurged on these!

I have a few others colors that are starting to open. I'll make sure to get pics when they do.

Very nice, digschicks! I like the yellow- that is one color I don't have.... I bought mine in the bulb form- in one of those "bargain" bags the mail order companies have. Small to start, but in a few years- wow!

Ooooo... I love lilies too and those are beautiful Lesa and 'digschicks! I have a few clumps, but like clematis, you can't have too many ;)
