{Oriental Lily Belgrado}

As I've mentioned before, around June is the prettiest time of the year for many blossoms. So it is for the gorgeous Oriental Lily Belgrado.
We acquired ours through K. Van Bourgondien & Sons, Inc. via their catalog.
Pieter took the above photo on June 15, in the morning and you can see an insect on the left lily.
Oriental Lily Belgrado is in the softest of pink...
Same plant, after the rain in the evening when I put it on the lawn for another photo.
Two days later, after Pieter had cut them off for filling a nice vase full, I had no chance to take a photo due to the rain... But this is after 18:00 when I just put them outside our bedroom's French door.
Their fragrance is so heavenly!
Around 19:30 the rain had stopped, so I did get to make another photo with them.
Love their dark stamens, full of pollen.
They did last quite some time in that vase!
Now we have to wait till next year...
Do you also have any Oriental Lilies?

    I did have some lilies but they are not with me now. I am not sure what happened. But they were not oriental ones. Just tiger lilies. I think the man who cuts the lawn hurt them. I am wondering how much turmeric you take?

    Hi Mariette,
    Your lilies are beautiful. My thumb isn't the greenest of thumbs so I wouldn't dare try to grow lilies...Hee,hee,hee.

    Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit and for your very sweet and kind comment. Hope you come and visit again soon.

    Hugs and Blessings,
    ❤️Ana

    Lieve Mariette,

    De zachte kleur van deze oosterse lelie ziet er prachtig uit.
    Heb geen lelie bollen in mijn tuintje om de dood eenvoudige reden dat ik niet zo dol ben op de bloemen.
    En toch kan ik heel soms een enkele lange steel met bloem kopen bij bloemist van Lilium Candidum die ik dan in hoge cilindervaas zet bij het antieke beeld van Onze Lieve Vrouwke.

    Bedankt voor je lieve felicitatie op onze trouwdag :-) ook namens Harry.
    We vierde die in huislijke kring met kinderen en kleinkinderen,zaten ' s avonds met z'n allen aan de gedekte dis en ik heb er geen hand aan uit hoeven steken.

    Uit het prachtige veldboeket wat hier op tafel staat komt laat op de avond ook een lelie achtige geur maar heb nog niet kunnen ontdekken van welke bloem.

    Fijne dag en lieve groet,Ger

    The lilies are pretty, especially in the blue vase, but I've had many encounters with the stamens. Boy can they stain your clothes. :) Best wishes, Tammy

    Hi Mariette, lovely pink lilies. I don't have any in my garden as I know lilly stamens are poisonous to cats, so even when I get flowers as gifts I cut the stamens straight away.

    Wundervoll schaut diese Lilie aus, liebe Mariette. Bei uns gedeihen Lilien nicht so sehr gut. Daher verzichte ich lieber darauf.
    Ich wünsche Dir noch viel Freude an ihrem Blühen.

    Viele liebe Grüße
    Sara

    deine Lilien sind ein Traum. Die Farbe ist wirklich einmalig.
    Leider gedeihen diese Lilien bei uns nicht so gut.
    Einen schönen Abend wünscht Dir

    Good Morning, Dear Mariette! Oh, I can just imagine the heavenly scent of your beautiful lilies! I used to grow 'Star Gazer' lilies when I had more sun. Maybe I will try again in pots, like yours. Sending hugs xo Karen
