Dont really know what this lily is.
« on: July 10, 2012, 09:14:26 AM »
I got a Giantea from Kat in 2010 and it grew really nice. I left it outside so I assumed it died. Well this spring I found to lilies in a different stock tank wit odd shapped leaves and they were not planted. Now I reused my pots with out putting in new soil so I could have thrown these tubers in the tank thinking they were dead or something I really dont know. But anyway one of them bloomed today.

It is lovely

Is it really as blue as the photo indicated?

I'd love a 'true' blue

That's a beautiful lily Gary.  I love the colour and the shape of the flower.

The second picture is blue and white immutabilis. Not sure the first is unless they are both same plant.
Here is my all blue gigantia

Vickie mine does not have any white in it at all and its the first bloom.  The bloom is probably a foot above the water. They are all the same plant the side shot does look a lot lighter than the top view

I took my Ipad out with the pic of your bloom beside my bloom and yours is more blue than mine and your petals are wider looking. Could fertilizer change shape and color a bit? I have ran out of everything.

Gander- I have a N. Gigantea from Kat whose bloom last year looked a lot like yours now.
My next female cat will be called "Whata Lily"!

The flower is almost lotus like.  I really like it.
