Here are some pics taken this evening. I have no idea why this one grew so tall this year, but it did & it's obviously got a couple inches on me. Huge blooms on it as well. And of course it smells like heaven!!

O.C. even has a goatee about that long now. On a more serious note, Casablancas are terrific Liliums. Had some bloomed last yearf in a tub on hisz deck. Were not quite THAT tall, and when his dear sweet loving wife Joy,who was also enthralled by their perfume, found out they hadn't made it, she told him to plan on planting her some MORE this fall, or he wasns't going to get to plant any others. Look out Chris, here comes an order by PM tomorrow.

Once again, that has to be oner of the most popular of all the liliums.

John, that Old Coot who LOVES Casa Blancas...

Thanks for all the comments.

Old Coot - that's just my moustache - I got rid of the goatee earlier this summer.

Cool Lily!!! Your yard looks like such a nice peaceful little oasis!

Thanks, Pat.

The mosquitoes find that spot to be especially peaceful. And they come out to share it with me every time I'm out there.

Did you have to stake your Casablanca lily? I'm thinking of adding a few this fall, and if they need staking, I'll put the stakes in when I plant (so I don't skewer the bulb trying to stake it next spring!)

He had to stake his because he grows most of his in large pos on his deck...They are beatiful.......John

Akita, that one wasn't staked. I had no idea it would get so tall. The other one is about the height both were last year I think.

Not a bad idea to stake from the beginning, but I would have had to replace the stake for a taller one on this giant. The stem on this one was so thick though that a stake really wasn't necessary.
