Thanks every one. August Koch isn't my favourite lily in the pond. I find it a bit plain but it's very photogenic. I haven't shot a bad picture of it yet, even when I totally screw up the settings.
Mike, moving the tropicals in is a major pain. I need to move to a warmer climate. First they all go into the greenhouse Sept-Oct. Then they are all moved into the basement after the first frost, where they stay until about March. Then it's back out into the greehouse until June for the lilies. The others go out onto the patio earlier. Some of the potted plants ie Brugs, are so large now that Pete has to move them with one of the tractors.
Anyway I love them so much that it's still worth the trouble. We are planning to have a large conservatory instead of a double garage at the new home. It will have a formal pond as well. That will help a lot.
