A new lily I like a lot.
« on: July 23, 2009, 05:23:50 PM »
  I don't think I have shown this one before.  It's a small to medium size plant with widely spaced leaves and very controlled growth.  It holds it's 4 to 5 in flowers above the water on very thick strong peduncles.   Flowers consistently with One to three flowers per crown at a time. Flowers are substantial with thick petals richly colored with a wide honey colored center, with dark yellow center petals grading to pink sepals.  Cup shaped.
   I was thinking of multiplying it and offering it for sale if people like it as much as I do.  It's a definite keeper for me with a unique shape and sturdiness and good color with very controlled growth and leaf production, beautiful speckled small leaves showing lots of water.  3 ft dia or smaller plant. good for small gardens. will mingle well with other plants that have limited leaf growth and spread.
  I'm thinking of naming it Cup Of Honey or Hunnycup.  Which do you prefer. Or somthing else?

Nice rich colors, compact growing size, blooms held above the water, & lots of blooms ---sure sounds like a winner to me.  Honey Cup (or Hunnycup) is my preference  ;)

If you think that your question is dumb, imagine how totally stupid you will look if you don't ask it.

  Honey pot, like in Winnie The Pooh?  Then it would be hunny pot. If I remember right Winnie The Poohs honey pot had hunny spelled on the side.  That's why I used that spelling in Hunnycup. Honey or Hunny pot makes me think of a big flower and this is a small plant, and cup shaped. That's how I came up with Hunnycup. also I like to join words together to make it more unique and rememberable. Is that a word ?
  Honey petals is nice Tink.  I will add that to my list of possible lily names for sure.
