It's my turn!
« on: July 17, 2007, 09:52:03 AM »
I keep seeing all these gorgeous lily pics on the board, and now it's my turn.  My pond is only one year old, and this spring Kay and Debbie kindly sent me some lilies.  Two of Debbie's bloomed this morning, I'm so excited.  I'm not sure if they change colors much over time, or how long the blooms last, these are just opening.  8)


The frogs love the lilies, too:

Your pond scene is beautiful!  How much did you have to pay that frog to pose for the shots?  lol  Did he charge extra for cute close-ups (are frogs ever cute?)?  Congrats on the lily blooms!  @O@

Great photos. The colors are so intense.

It's been 5 years since my first lily and I still feel bad at the end of summer when I have to trim back the pads and there are buds that won't get to open.

Thanks, everyone!  That frog works for free, our frogs are pretty laid-back.  They just lie around all day long, soaking up the sun.   ::)  Do the lilies bloom all summer long?  I really don't know what to expect.  I must say, I was worried yesterday when they suddenly flopped over late afternoon, I didn't realize they were closing up for the night.  It's raining this morning, hopefully they'll open up again when the sun returns. 

I must be losing my mind, I'd swear I saw Kay post on this thread yesterday!!  But I don't see it. That miniature lily to the left is from Kay, I'll share pics of it if it blooms this summer, I did fertilize it.  All the lilies I received are really healthy and robust.   o(:-)

Barb, your lilies should bloom right through the summer. They may not always open on rainy days. Just fertilize them as needed and they will look great all summer.

That looks as soft as cottoncandy.  That is what popped in my mine as soon as I saw it.  Beautiful pics and cute frog.
