By Request

This photo was taken yesterday while I was watering.  I put the end of the hose (no nozzle) at the base of the plants and leave it on for a few minutes.  That way I can do some other things.  .  We were away for a long weekend and my plants are so thirsty they need deep watering.

The stone edgers that you see on the lower right part of the photo are for the kidney bed that I had made  in the middle of the yard but I have no time to install them right away.   This will be my fall garden project.

Please excuse my messy garden.  I just tuck lily bulbs here and there when I get them.  No real design.

Lilium Lankon


Lankon is the result of crossing L. longiflorum (Easter Lily) and L. langkongense.  Purchased as a small bulb from Faraway Flowers last fall and I am so glad it gave out a single bud.  The bud size itself is long and fat just like one of its parent, the Easter  Lily.  The petals are spotted all over.  A delight to see this one of a kind lily blooming here in my  garden.

More info on this lily can be found here: B and D Lilies.
