More Hardy blooms
« on: July 06, 2015, 07:05:53 PM »
I don't have a vast selection of lilies but I tried to have some variety.  Today Lemon Chiffon bloomed...this one has been a bit finicky for me but I like the flower a lot and the pads are pretty too.  The bloom is smaller than usual but I had divided it this year.  Perry's Baby Red is a favorite of mine and tends to bloom fairly frequently.  I fertilized all lilies today to hopefully keep them blooming!

I really like the lemon. It has a real yellow pastel color to it.  I wonder if it taste as good as it looks ????

Nice photos.  I thought Lemon Chiffon was a good bloomer.  I would try fertilizer and if that doesn't work within a week try a different height in the pond.  Perhaps its caught in a cold thermal spot.

I, too, have wondered if Lemon Chiffon needs slightly warmer temperatures than we normally get here early in the season.   I also wonder if the rhizome needs to be more developed/larger before it blooms a lot.  Perry's Baby Red definitely seems to tolerate cooler temperatures a bit better.
