I like this one better than Mankala Ubol. It's basicaly the same but I think it's color is slightly better and I hope it starts flowering earlier.

My answer to Fireball.

It is just like Fireball except it likes to grow and flower.

Very pretty, Mike. (Especially #3!) You are so good with your lilies.

They are all gorgeous, but I am really loving Sunfire. That one just sticks out for me. Beautiful.

They're all so gorgeous I feel faint!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the Mayla's perfect petals. Simple beauty looks like innocence. They groupings of lilies....WOW! Bring out the smelling salts!

CoolShades · « **Reply #14 on:** September 10, 2010, 03:44:39 PM »

Mike you have some spectacular lilies are any on the market for purchase?

Gary

turtlemike · « **Reply #15 on:** September 10, 2010, 05:36:03 PM »

I'm working on it Gary but it's slow.

Breeding season is ending and I will get to dividing Sunfire, Myra, Fairy Skirt and a bunch of others as fast as I can.

I'll let you all know first when you can get them.

You want Fairy skirt, you shall have Fairy Skirt.

Fairy Skirt is definitly one of my all time faves. NOTHING blooms better for me.

turtlemike · « **Reply #16 on:** September 10, 2010, 06:02:44 PM »

I can't resist. More Fairy Skirt.

The last two are for those who havent seen FS in it's full glory.

Marie Fisher · « **Reply #17 on:** September 10, 2010, 06:03:06 PM »

Not only do I like all of them, but in particular the volunteer purple. In your opinion,
is that one worth of propogating?

Wouldn't bother me a bit to have in one of my ponds.

Marie

Mike I am standing in line for Fairy Skirt and Sunfire. They are stunning! Can't wait to get them!

small fish · « **Reply #19 on:** September 10, 2010, 06:32:04 PM »

Humm, too many pretties to chose from.... think I like Myra, Fairy skirt and Sunfire the best.. the purple is very nice... really I like them all but maybe Myra the very best

Myra

  The only bad thing about that plant Marie is that it is big and two flowers are just about max although I have seen it with three. Otherwize it is a knock out. Very eye catching from a distance and the beautifull green leaves are soothing to the eye.

  It has the run of the pond so it probably has no tubers. There is a good chance that I could lose it this winter judging by how good I did last winter.

I'm thinking about seeing if Timgod wants to overwinter it. Maybe my sister in florida.

If anybody out there is very good at tubering big tropicals by floating them or by restriction or chop and drop and you have the facilities and or live down south and you are interested in propagating it talk to me about it and we will save it for people who have big ponds and like green leaves and maroon flowers. Is that maroon ? what is a good name for it?

  Here is a plant that Ken Landon and I are really likeing and I will name it. right now I call it West West. It's the West most plant in the West test bed.

8+ in flowers and it blooms great and doesn't fade.

Mike, how about the name Firefly for the West West lily?

Indiana Karen · « **Reply #22 on:** September 10, 2010, 07:53:59 PM »

Unbelievably beautiful.

Ky Kim · « **Reply #23 on:** September 10, 2010, 08:17:52 PM »

I just keep saying wow, so beautiful. I enjoy seeing your pictures, I could look at them everyday and never grow tired of them.

I like the name Firefly Frank. It does seem to glow from the inside with it's translucent petals.

I have to give it a name before Lily Fest so that will be it.
