My lily garden is going gangbusters. The asiatics are mostly done, the specialty ones are in bloom now.

I doubt there is anyone within driving distance of area code 61014 ( NW IL) -

....But if you are in the area and want to come see and sniff you can make arrangements. I'm not putting my address here on this public forum, you will have to emial me privately.

You can also visit my gardens via photobucket. There is an album for lilies. Look for member cheerpeople.

So far my lily garden adventures have included botrytis, virus ( all removed), and failed and a few successful seed grown lilies. I'd love to talk lilies. I'll make us some crystal lite :)

Also later this month- if you want to volunteer an hour with the garden at the chadwick public library, I can guarantee you will get some free perennials ( not lilies) for your time. I have been asked to transplant the whole flower garden out then in ( a week or so later) after the sidewalk is replaced.
