Thanks for the compliments everyone
Kathy- Glad your lilies are putting up pads- hopefully they will really take off now! My favorite lily I have as far as pads is GA peach- I love the mottling on them. My Gloire du Temple is doing crappy too- mine was shipped in good shape, but it has lost all pads, and only has one small one starting to sprout toward the surface
I read in my SLocum book though, that Gloire won't bloom well in hot areas, such as zone 8 and up, so maybe that is why Kat's hasn't bloomed. We are in cooler areas, so maybe we have a bit better chance at getting blooms on ours
