Thanks for the nice compliment on my hostas.<br /><br />@The Plantboy,<br /><br />I have some Rosthornii, acquired them as bulblets. They are lost in the garden. The tag is there but can't tell which ones they are. I am waiting for them to bloom. Yeah, Henryi and Rosthornii are almost the same except they say that Rosthornii is shorter than Henryi and its filaments are longer and you pointed out their color difference. I believe that some breeders used Rosthornii as parent for lilies with 'black hearts'-black nectary. I read Charlie Kroell of USA and Anton Mego of Slovakia has some to die for hybrids. I got some Mego seeds that I can't wait to sow in winter.<br /><br />I was reading informations about Dietes just the other day. I purchased the 'Bulb' book on Amazon and sat down for good one hour reading it. Tell me about the Taxonomists! I will check your post. I thought you stop blogging for good. Great to hear from you.<br /><br />@ Ann,<br />Thanks!<br /><br />@Andrea,<br /><br />Thanks. I don't know how I can memorize them either! But I think once a plant is added to my garden, it's like recorded in my memory permanently. :) <br /><br />Oh yeah, I was talking to my sister how much a pot of Stargazer lily there. I could almost die!<br /><br />Ha Xuan of Ton Suy Vien raised some hybrid Hemerocallis in Vietnam. Isn't it Philippines and Vietnam has the same weather?<br /><br />@Vicent L.<br /><br />Thank you so much.<br /><br />@Rosie,<br /><br />Thanks.

Amazing beauties and they seem so healthy. You must have a lot of space, is it possible to get a wide angle shot of your garden? Those lilies get a good sum here in the flower shops. Do you think those Hemerocallis will grow here, they are like the Hippeastrum don't they. BTW, your blood lilies seem to have loose flower umbel than mine which are very compact! AT any rate they are very beautiful.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076910230051897430.post-88797779634522373232011-08-07T20:20:17.695-07:002011-08-07T20:20:17.695-07:00The lilies are just stunning.The lilies are just stunning.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01668006270534204954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076910230051897430.post-23844064326757750582011-08-07T09:24:21.395-07:002011-08-07T09:24:21.395-07:00Stunning photos as ever!

I love the ones with a few drops of dew or rain on them, you should go pro.<br />I grew L. henryi for the first time this year and thought I'd lost it, until I realised it was arching in such a way it was hiding its blooms in some orange Tropaeolums! Do you grow L. rosthornii? The two Lilies are so similar It must have bamboozled the taxonomists for years (good, that'll teach them to put Belamcamda into Iris but leaves Dietes as a distinct genus). They really are uncannily similar; the same green nectary as you so informedly describe it (I just said "stripe" in my blog on the subject). They both have those little raised nobbly bits (ahem), although my one henryi and two, multi-stemmed rosthorniis both have more of them. The only difference is a very vague lighter edge to the petals on the latter and a very slightly lighter shade of tangerine. You can compare the two here (http://theplantboy.blogspot.com/2011/07/luscious-lily-exposed-sexy-seedlings.html)Theplantboynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9076910230051897430.post-87967940419731704382011-08-07T04:21:00.374-07:002011-08-07T04:21:00.374-07:00Lily,
