OK!!! You two are officially killing me by tempting me with such beautiful blooms!!

But I'm loving it all the way!

Thanks...I can't wait to get my hands on more moptops next year!

Very nice lighting on the foxfires. Unclassic means interesting!

Joyce · « **Reply #6 on:** August 05, 2008, 06:17:22 PM »

Thanks Bill, all natural lighting, except I think I used a flash on the 4th one. $:-\$
There's a frog in the 5th pic, didn't see it until I downloaded it!

I see the frog. I'd be one happy frog if I were her.

All those moptops look pretty good to me.

Really gotta thank Craig P for the unrelenting work done developing those beauties. Question, which are Craig P's? Are they all? I haven't been keeping up on my mops.

Of the ones shown that are Craig Presnell hybrids: Avalanche, Midnight Embers, Pink Flamingo, Ostara, Foxfire. He has hybridized more but these are the only ones that I have personal pictures of.

The one I really want next year is Smoulder by Kit Knotts.

This is Craig Presnell's photo of his Smoulder.

WOW. Nuff said?! What a beauty!

Like I always say... gotta move someplace warm

. Really warm.

OMG! That Smoulder is gorgeous! I live where it is warm, no problems there. It's space that will be a problem for me. I am already thinking about putting lilies in pots and I haven't even gotten the pond finished yet.

It was Craig, right Sean?, that sent the lilies to the water garden in Merida??? I wonder if he has a list of what he sent because I should be able to buy lilies from them when they are thinning. Other than that, I might have to put a few in plastic bags under the seat on our next trip north.

Very beautiful, the moptops I have do just fine here in Hawaii except they don't dance hula.....

Wow, Smoulder sure look wonderful, I want one too.

Pics of my moptop lilies. Some folks don't like them, but I LOVE them! If you've got a Moptop, please post your pics of them so we can see their performance in many different situations. Thanks.

Are you just wanting perfect pictures or real life situations. Like second day flowers after a light wind on a normal hot day? Mine are looking a bit beaten up as we have typhoon, but that is to be expected. Though the species lilies including capensis are dead straight if not slightly brow beaten I am more than willing to share as soon as the weather clear up a bit.

A good model looks good no matter when you catch her. But I'm not prepared to argue with you on this score. Performance testing is the only way. It is hoped this will start soon.
By the way I've also seen singles wilted and black in normal tropical conditions, it all about substance, real or imagined.

Kat, I am very much enjoying your photos!

Please take some more today and post 'em.

Some people just can't be nice, whether it's jealousy, personal anger issues, depression, can't stand not being the center of attention,
not being told what they want to hear, all of the above, I don't know. Don't wanna know, not my problem.

No one can destroy the beauty of your lilies with unkind, rude, disrespectful words.

They only destroy their own credibility.

SPECTACULAR!

Wish I could grow them here.

Hey, did anyone notice the cute little frog in the Truly Named Enzo Pic?

ISN'T SMOULDER STUNNING?!

I didn't get to see it in bloom when I was at Kitts, or the last time I was at Craigs, cuz it was in the middle of winter.
Was in the 60s- high 70s during the day, still lots of lilies blooming, but not Smoulder.
