Have I shown this one already? Oh well if I haven't here you go, or go again.

I'm really excited about it. this is it's first flower, about 5 inches or more across and bigger than it's dark red leaves.
I hope it blooms like crazy and holds it's flowers high cause if it does it's going to be a fireworks show !

I usually have problems naming lilies but this one came as soon as I saw it.

The one to the left of it ain't bad either.

I'm about to give it a prime spot to test it's potential
. I'll keep you updated.

I plan on makeing a whole series of these shaped flowers in different colors if possible. I havent cheked the tag to find out what it's parentage is but you can bet i'm going to do that cross over and over.
I have a light salmon pink one similar to this one but the petals are not quite as long and narrow.

It wasn't blooming yet when you were here Tink. Those pics are it's first and only flower so far. It's crowded in among a bunch of bigger lilies. I need to pot it up with a lot of fertilizer and see what happens.
