At this time of year I have to get my fix by drooling over all the lovely catalogs or living vicariously through those of you in warmer zones.

Ha! I know what you mean, hostaholic; there are days when the freezing rain is coming down, the power is out, and I am lucky to have gas heat and stove to boil water. That is when I really think about the summer garden!

But our weather in winter is never as harsh as yours can be.

Freezing rain! Yuck! Give me a good ole snowstorm any day. I much prefer that to that nasty freezing rain. Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we've had a really good snowstorm.

I do not need more Lilies! I do not need more Lilies! I do not need more Lilies!
OK, I just placed my order at B&D. I have an excuse :0) After seeing pics of 'Scalini' on this forum, I decided that it is distinctive enough to add it to my collection. And, to make shipping cost somewhat reasonable, I added few others... I am so weak, especially at this time of the year...

Alina, now you've done it ! Since at least one other person placed an order, I felt justified in doing so too ! :-))

I ordered some 'Miss Lucy' and 'My Precious' from B&D, as well as some Toad Lilies for my shaded woodsy garden. Always nice this time of year to look forward to new spring plantings.

That is indeed a fine one, alina. I like the white and yellow ones too like Alessia. Take a look at that one if you have not seen it. It is much like the one I want, except Lemon Meringue had raspberry spots.

Hopflower,
Thanks for the advice. I have very limited space. I also have several yellow/white varieties already: 'Conca D'Or' (OT), 'American Ingenuity' (OT), 'Giallisa' (Oriental). 'Honeymoon' (OT) is a wonderful orangish/yellow variety I got by mistake from American Meadows last year. Lucky mistake! Much prettier than on pictures. I also have some yellow Asiatics. So I decided I have enough yellow ones...
Philomena, I have bad luck with 'Miss Lucy' for some reason: I lost some bulbs to basal rot and remaining bulbs did not bloom. Hope that your experience with it will be better.
BTW, Chris from Hallson's Gardens just updated their Lily web page. I received excellent bulbs from him for very reasonable price. The communication was superb as well. Their selection is somewhat limited, but they have some very nice cultivars. Check them out if you need more Lilies.

alina: I forgot to tell you that I did indeed look up that Conca D'Or lily you told me about. It is really a beauty and I thank you for letting me know about it.

Yes, I guess we have to choose carefully if we do not have a lot of space.

Hopflower,
have you seen Garden Party Oriental? It is a dwarf Lily with huge flowers. It has these raspberry spots you like. Lovely Lily overall if you like shorties. Maybe, it can substitute 'Lemon Meringue' for you?
'Conca D'Or' is also much nicer than its pictures. I think it is true for many yellow/orange Lilies. Real blooms glow and sometimes have diamond dust.

Wow, Alina; I had NOT seen that. That is much like Lemon Meringue except that the LM was full-sized. I don't suppose it matters. Oh, goody! Lol! Thank you, thank you, thank you. :)

I am glad you like it. For me its color was a little pale, like on this picture. I bought mine at Sam's club.
