Just a few Lily photos

Our lilies are growing like wildfire this summer. They will need dividing this fall. (Warning picture heavy)

Lovely!! Waiting patiently for mine to open.. Enjoy your beautiful blooms!

Very nice I love their fragrance. Which is your favorite ?

@Nyboy I love the stargazer lily but it is not blooming yet. Of those in photos like the pink and peach colored one. But thanks to my poor record keeping I have no idea the names of all but the stargazers!

Those are beautiful Carol Dee. I like the one in the first pic, the mottled yellow and red. I haven't seen one like that before. Mine are just starting to bud. I'm afraid the grasshoppers are eating heavily on the ones by the front door so they may not be very pretty when they open.

I am so done with grasshoppers! Picking and squishing is not keeping up with them and they are eating my Sweet Summer Love clematis by the front door as well as the lilies. I guess they are actually eating everything in the beds in front....

@thistlebloom I spent hours pulling weeds last night. Wild how fast hey grow while one is away. I noticed HUNDREDS of tiny grasshoppers. Looks like they will be too plentiful very soon. Our poor garden won't stand a chance. So hopefully we have enough planted to share with them and still have some for us! .

I was having big problems with snakes in my yard, I couldn't go out in yard with out seeing one. After I found one in house I had exterminator come spray around house every other week. Wasn't really making any difference but I felt better about it. After many checks to exterminator, I had a workman over to fix a window. Some how subject of my snake problem came up. He said of course you have snakes, your yard is over run with there favorite food grasshoppers. I knew I had large number of grasshoppers, but thought them harmless so had a live and let live attitude with them.When i got rid of grasshoppers number of snakes went down big time. Exterminator who was coming every 2 weeks never mention, that could be souse of large snake population.

Love those lilies! I wish I had more of them myself, but our lily bed never did get off the ground. (punny, huh?)

I have pink lilies much like the bottom photo, 'border' lilies in red, and a bright yellow lily that I actually de-scaled and planted each scale, so once they began flowering there was a mass of color. A few others met an untimely death to the devil hoe wielded by DH before they ever grew enough to flower. Oh, yes, and my pink naked-ladies are lilies as well.

I keep browsing through the amazing number of lily introductions each year and they set me to drooling like a love-struck fool. I just may set several other garden varieties aside and go for lilies some time soon.

I will probably have more than I can rehome after dividing.
