    If anybody has ever collected seeds of these, tell me when to do it and what they look like.

    Magic lilies.

    Tigers in the garden are wonderful! Your flowers definitely attract the right kind of "tigers".

    Lovely photos! I especially liked seeing your butterflies.
    What are "magic lilies"? They are so beautiful!

    These are my neighbors. I can't get mine to bloom after 3 years now.

    They are blooming all over the place at the moment. Donm I am so jealous...
