080615 - Red Hybrid Lily

Here you can see two red hybrid lilies in bloom. They bloomed a few days before the white ones described in an earlier post.

These flowers are a little smaller than the white ones, though the plants are about the same height.

The red lilies are growing alongside lupines, sweet peas and a perrenial foxglove, which produces larger and more numerous flower stocks each year. The pink flowers of this foxglove are about three inches long.

080615 - White Asiatic Hybrid Lily

This is the first white Asiatic hybrid lily to bloom in the gardens. I planted this and another late last fall.

The plant is about two feet tall, its flowers as large as your hand.

Those are lupine leaves it's growing through.
