It has been several years since I have shared any pics so I hope you enjoy them. My lilies started blooming mid May. I have several blooms everyday.
I will be adding pics during the summer to this thread.
Gorgeous. Very impressive. Wow!
Very nice.

Bump. for more summer blooms/growth.
I potted the "Colorado" about 6 weeks ago (used 3 healthy divisions in 19" squat pot), the yellow is supposed to be "Paranee", but there is very little red streaking, probably got a weak sport of it, it was potted at the same time as "Colorado" but was just a start of a rhizome at the time, off to the left is "Director George T Moore" (potted less than 2 weeks ago).
This is much better than the pond full of cattails I had at the beginning of the year. Aphids were going crazy on the lilies so I sprayed pam cooking spray on them after the pics, hose the pads off tomorrow.

Very nice lilies and lotus.
Here are my lilies but lotus takes forever from seed. What kind of soil and what is your fert, how often??
All your flowers are so beautiful! GrayCat the President is fantastic! You inspired me to post pics of my own summer blooms!

AMazing Flowers! THe President is STUNNING! Absolutely Gorgeous! It's pics like that that have.... inspired (?) me to grow some ;-)
Mine are NO where near as mature. I started some seeds a few weeks back. Some were for Micro (bowl) lotus and the others are native N. lutea. All just sent up their first aerial leaves. Told I can expect a flower on my Micros at about 17 days.... Getting excited!
