first pic in the set? If that's the one that's King of Siam, Picture doesn't do that flower justice, we even said that when I went to take the pic, But I think it came out pretty good for my first attempt at photographing that one!

 

[j.w]

Yep that's the one and King of Siam fits it to a tee cuz it is king in my book :regular_waving_emot

Very nice lily! I knew what that one was when I saw it, I've wanted one of those for a while. The wife and I got home and went to looking at where we could build a Lily pond now! LOL,

 

[j.w]

A nice good sized lily pond full of all kinds of beautiful lilies w/ a few little goldies in there just to ward off the skeeters would be wonderful..............oh boy, now ya got me thinkin..........I think my hubby will not be for it tho........he'd say, what do you need another one for............I only have one now so what's the big deal, I'd say. It'd be nice to have one that I could get at the lilies easy to take care of them. My pond is deep at the sides and crowded around the edge w/ stuff so hard to get in and out w/o trampling things.

Same here JW, I thought the wife would complain about building another pond but after she saw all those lily's I think she was wanting one too! I'm up to four different kinds of Night bloomers and have a fifth on order that should be here next week. there is one more night bloomer I want, I want the King of Siam or Tanzinite, and the lily I saw at Magoo's with the pink in the lily leaf, That one really got my attention and didn't even have a bloom.

The four lilies in Larkin's second set of photos are King of Siam, Wood's Blue Godess, Rose Star and Rachel Presnell.The one with the pinkish pads is Arc-en-Ciel..Fishin4cars has an Arc-en-Ciel waiting when he's ready for it.

wow wow and wow, very nice! If they would make it here easier would love to have tropical lilies.

Very very nice magoo!

the 4th pic is a passion flower.I have this one and tons of baby plants and a couple of weeks ago I bought the yellow and orange one but no buds yet

 

[j.w]

I love the Passion flowers........reminds me of what aliens would have on their planets :lol:
How hardy are they.........oh never mind, I guess if they are hardy in Virginia where sissy lives they would be hardy here in zone 7

 

[addy1]

I grew the passion flowers in arizona, have not tried them in maryland yet!

The net says zone 6-10 dependent on the species.

 

[sissy]

problem is if they like it they take over and I can tell you they do .I just pulled a butch shoots from under my front porch and have one growing up the corner of the house that is almost up to the gutter
