In fact, both Fairy Skirt plants bloomed, so here are pics of each of the two gorgeous blooms!

When I went to San Angelo several years ago, Tmike had about a dozen different lilies on display and Fairy Skirts is my personal favorite.

Here are some pics from today. The first two are FS and the third is SF. The last one is Lavalette Pink.

Going from bottom of your last post Frank, Lavalette Pink, Sunfire, Fairy Skirt and again Sunfire. Above that are 2 Sunfires. Above that is a mistake of mine ! I sent you the wrong plant. That is a Mayla seedling that I call Maylademeureville because of its upright center petals. I'll send you the real Tangerene Pink replacements as soon as I can. I knew I was possibly sending you the wrong variety because my varieties are getting really mixed up. Enjoy the Maylademeureville and let me know what you think of it. I would bet that the one that you have labeled Haunting beauty is Myra, 9 inch flowers are common. The three at the top are correct. Frank I think you are getting your pix mixed up or your labels. When I dig plants I label them immediately before they leave the water so I don't mix any up. Post pix as they bloom and I'll ID them for you.

Here's a pic of Haunting Beauty taken yesterday. The one in front.

Lavalette Pink should bloom like crazy. I have never grown it in soil or in a pot. It literally grows on solid rock here and blooms great. It should do fantastic when given some soil and fertilizer. Overcrowded growing on a rock with yellowish leaves and no fertilizer here and it blooms better than Colorado. Also has better color than Colorado and doesn't fade during the summer like Colorado. Similar in size to Colorado but a better plant all around in my opinion.

picture below notice the yellowish leaves. Literally growing on solid rock with no soil. Making its own soil.

Lavalette Pink is blooming great. One or two blooms per plant daily.
Looks great.

If it blooms better than my Colorado...it goes crazy.

All of your lilies are amazing.

Thanks Mike. When I got the plants you had the two of each variety tied together and labeled. To keep from mixing them up I made label stick for a variety, stuck it in the pot and planted the plant. I did each variety one at a time so each variety remained still tied and labeled until the previous ones were done. Each plant has a short ID stick and a large ID stick. The bloom that is labeled Fairy Skirt looks less like Sunfire in yesterday's pic. Myra and Haunting Beauty seem to be mixed up, as they look all the same. I am posting today's blooms, as Wedding Dress has bloomed.
Thanks.

Mike, here are better pics taken today. You can see what I have them labeled as being, and then correct me on the labels. Thanks.

Here is another pic of Sunfire as well as Tangerine Pink (Maylademeureville) and Wedding Dress. I did not post another pic of Lavalette Pink as I know that lily is labeled right.

turtlemike · « **Reply #16 on:** July 10, 2014, 02:02:47 PM »

Those all look correctly named. Looking good. Your Sunfire is starting to get its normal color.

matherfish · « **Reply #17 on:** July 10, 2014, 02:23:04 PM »

Great! So Myra and Haunting Beauty are also correct? Fantastic! Sunfire blooms seem to get darker with each new bloom, and it blooms a lot! Thanks a lot for your lilies and the help! I look forward to getting Tangerine Pink.

Are these lilies crosses between tropical and hardies?

turtlemike · « **Reply #19 on:** July 10, 2014, 03:20:01 PM »

No Bob, all hardy X hardy.
