| I have a huge clump of "Midnight" strain. There are over a hundred buds in this clump. They are just starting to open. I thought you might enjoy a peek at them.

| Lainey, I have been "googling" the words lilium and Midnight strain etc., only to find B&D Lilies and The Lily Garden say that Midnight strain refers to a purplish trumpet lily. The pictures are nothing at all like yours. This must be a totally different kind of "Midnight" strain, right? Is it an oriental? How many bulbs did you plant in order to have over 100 buds? They are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! :0) Phyl |

| Hi Phyl, I've been told these are actually "Scherezade," which is okay with me, but it's not what I ordered and paid for. I figure I probably got the best of that deal. Anyway, I planted one bulb about 5 years ago. Last year there were four stems in the clump, this year there are seven. BUT this year there are fewer blossoms per clump so I still have about a hundred. I probably have fewer blossoms per stem this year because I didn't fertilize last fall. Lainey |

| This is the Oriental x Trumpet (Orienpet) hybrid 'Scheherazade', very well grown!! |
|
| They are still STUNNING! I am excited myself, to see my first blooms of these OTs/TRumpets planted last fall/this spring: 5 Orania The rest I planted were asiatics and orientals (Mojave, Lovely Girl, Excelsior, Italia, Jubileo, Species Rubrum, Muscadet, Tom Pouce, and another collection of orientals). BTW, anyone have comments/experience with the above? |
|
| Hi Phyl Which of your list is blooming now? I'm at sort of an intermission between asiatics and orientals. I bought some of the American lilies but these were planted late this year. When does Red Hot bloom in NY? Joe |

| Phyl, How about some photos! We'd love to see them. I've grown Amethyst Trumpet, but it's still quite young and not up to performance standards. Beautiful flowers, though. Lainey |
