These are two Liliums I got from Chris last fall. Reall looking good. I had a nice bed coming up, but a violent hail storm Monday got thern all. They were up 6-8 inches. I have another stand in Union I am going to see next week and we'll see how they made out. Coot

Nice big buds now. Should not be long, if you folks in the Northern Tundra will STOP sending all this cold weather down. Was 36 last night. RIDICICULOUS. Coot

Well here they are !! 2- Tiny Padhye Lilium blooms. Been waiing a long time, but sure worth the weight. When I get settled, I am going to get back into Photoshop, so I can do a little better with the images, but for right now - I'll take these. The center is actually a little more purple than reddish,

but when you use an instamatic - that all you get.......Coot

A further comment on this Lilium. It has a short stem about 18" and one of the sturdiest stems OC has ever seen. This would make an excellent "BORDER"Lilium and he plans to plant some more of this type this fall,in front of the taller ones he plans to plant. Should make a nice addition to any bed or border and he believes would make an excellent "POT" plant on your deck or patio.Flowers are LARGE so leave room between them Bloom is actually 6"'s or so across - Coot ds room.........
