Just had to show you this photo of my tree lily which is flowering at the moment with huge blooms and the scent is wonderful. ( photo / image / picture from Gardengirl's Garden )
Gosh that's a real beauty Pat. Do the Red Lily Beetles attack it like they do with other types of lily? If not I may well invest in a couple for myself next year.
I honestly can't remember the name of the variety carolyn but I bought them from Thompson & Morgan on line www.thompson-morgan.com Eileen, I have seen one or two lily beetles on them but not as many as my smaller varieties. I am growing these in large pots so that I can protect them in the winter just to be on the safe side.
They are approx 42" (107cm) cherylad , but I think after a year or two they could grow taller as T&M show them with a young child standing next to them, although having said that I think these growers exagerate a little sometimes
I like that color <3 My moms bf has a couple of tree lilies, they were taller than me, and Im 5'5"! His bloomed yellow, I have no idea where his mom (cause she's the one who planted em) got em from...
No Sjoerd I didn't grow it from seed. I bought it from T&M earlier this year. They were selling a pack of nine (three of each colour). I was a bit disappointed as when they bloomed two were quite a bit smaller and the same colour although they are quite pretty a double white blushed with pink. Maybe if I give them a feed when they are dying down this year they will all grow even taller next year.
