This is another bloom I really like and it blooms like crazy once it starts.Small bloom at about 3 inches, but,I love the blooms.

and this oriental is blooming a few weeks earlier too, and the bloom was pointing downward,so not such a good photo.

and the little stray kitten had disappeared for nearly a week, so I thought it either got killed or it found another home some where, but, it was back on the porch when I went out today, jumping up and down like a wild bronco.Guess it knew it would get some thing to eat. have a nice day, jean

Pandora's Box is a cutie, and so is the little kitten you call Dinky. He's has that little pink tongue out and ready to lap up something tasty.

I love your new kitten, Jean. We had a big boy named Stinky Bill that started out life looking just like Dinky. He looks happy to have found you.

Oriental lilies here don't bloom till August. Glad you are getting some late bloom. How would you rate this year's bloom season?

mantis; I rate this years bloom season as poor,so far.I have a bunch of daylilies didn't even put up a scape,lost a few,.a couple of my good bloomers didn't bloom at all. some of the bigger ones lost a few fans, too. where I had 6 to 8 fans,I now have 2,but at least I still have the plant,so maybe it will grow more fans,after I can move some or repot themwhich ever is the case.

Oh Dinky is a Dandy. I hope you and he have a long and loving relationship.....I agree with you about Pandora's Box. Always an attention getter in my landscape. Good picture of it. That's one of the prettiest pinks on your Lily............Maryl

Well the best is Dinky with its tongue showing. LOL.

Pandora's Box is a nice multi shot.

wow Pandora's Box is doing great for being in a pot. :)

Dean: Pandora's box usually, most times, has up to a dozen blooms at once.and even 15 blooms ONCE. I need to repot it this fall and give it fresh new soil for next year.It grew so much the first few years I had it,till I had to keep repotting it and divideing it up,I have give several pots away and still have three pots of it,I think.I plan to either put it all in a huge planter or find a good place to plant it.
Chris and maryL. I don't claim the kitten as my own,its just a stray that comes here for a meal and the mother also comes to get some thing to eat.I will feed any stray cat that acts like its hungry when it comes here.

Jean, I am afraid that I am coming to the same conclusion. The weather has done us in. Of course, early losses weren't exactly a treat.
