Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! I love blink. Your indian goddess reminded me that my red one I think turned to mush over the winter. :'(

Thanks. Had around 60 blooms, but didn't want to bore y'all with repeat pics.

HollDoll--sorry to hear about Red Indian Goddess. It is usually a very tough plant to kill. I'm hoping the Yellow Indian Goddess will start having the blooms above the water once it gets more established. I know some folks don't care for this lily but I find the blooms funky & unique.

Do Alexis and Foxfire look alike in person? From the pic they kinda look similar, but I don't own either...yet...

Kat · « **Reply #7 on:** June 05, 2010, 03:59:10 AM »

Foxfire has more color to the center of the bloom & the pads are mottled. I think Alexis pads are just green.

Nice pics! Mine finally started blooming last week, but I don't any that nice - just James Brydon and an unnamed light yellow.

Gorgeous pix Kat! Can't wait to see more!

Keep us posted, Kat. I've got 2 buds

I love the Indian Goddess! I think they are so unique. I saved what I could of the tuber and we potted it so let's hope that it comes back.

Kat - good and bad news. When you said it was hard to kill I went out to check if maybe I had the wrong lily - I did. It's Red Flare that turned to mush and I just checked it and the rest of it did. I guess it goes back on my want list. :'(

Kat · « **Reply #14 on:** June 05, 2010, 04:46:11 PM »

I've found the true Red Flare to be kind of fickle. Most of my spares didn't make it over the winter either & I've only got a couple to keep for myself. Sorry yours didn't make it. I do have a new nightbloomer called 'Larpchaiyaporn'---deep rose with maroon pads. I'm hoping it does well & so far the pads are a nice maroon color.

I just barely escaped the winter with a tuber for red flare too. It has not sprouted yet but the tuber is firm. Got it in a baggie and hoping it will wake up at some point. Got it last year and it decided to go dormant on me after transit.

I found this on N. larpchaiyaporn....and provenance.

Oh that ones sounds nice Kat, maybe I'll try that one instead of Red Flare again.

Kat · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2010, 07:03:10 PM »

Joyce--I got it from Scott in HI last year

He's got some cool & unusual lilies in his collection.

No divisions of it for this year, but hopefully next year.

All are beautiful, but my fav's are Alexis & Firefox.
