We do enjoy our lilies here at Oak Lawn and there are many additions most years. It has dawned on me that at some point I need to back off... it won't be long and I'll need to do a lot of dividing as some of our orienpet clumps have gotten absolutely huge.
We basically grow four types of lilies in the gardens plus a few miscellaneous varieties.
1. Asiatics: I've had asiatics in the gardens for years but have gotten a bit tired of them so allowed them to diminish of late rather than doing the needed dividing/transplanting. Some of the newer cultivars are catching my fancy however, and I've been adding a few here and there.
2. Oriental lilies: these are to my thinking the most beautiful of the lilies that are hardy here. The problem has been that they need quite regular dividing to thrive for us. I always wait too long to get at it but am going to try and stay on top of that a bit better in the future. There are only a few varieties in the gardens just now as they tend to die out without regular division.
3. Trumpet Lilies: I really need to add more of these. This past fall I divided the progeny of a single bulb into 32 very nice sized bulbs... proof enough that these plants seem to do ok for us.
4. Orienpet lilies: crosses between orientals and trumpets... these are the majority of what I grow and they do fabulously well here with bloom stalks to seven feet and scores of blooms in a clump. The fragrance is pretty special as well.
5. Miscellaneous: I also have a few regales, LA's, and LO's.
Here then is a photo journey of some of the lilies we're growing... I'll start with some close-ups in no particular order and label them as best I'm able since many of the tags are under snow just now and my computer labeling system disappeared with my hard drive crash last spring... I have yet to update it completely. I'll then move to a few long views of lilies in the gardens.
