Lily Rave
It's time for my second annual rave about Orienpet lilies (Orienpets, of course, being crosses between Oriental and trumpet lilies). I started a few years ago with just a handful of these new bulbs, and they have multiplied into dozens of huge plants, covered with the most incredible flowers; Sweetheart is shown above. The sweet smell is intoxicating... last night was humid, and the bouquet from all these lilies floated up through our second story bedroom window. These tall lilies are like giant flower beacons, floating over a sea of multicolored daylilies.
