Asiatic Lily 'Elodie'

exploding onto the garden scene in a big way:

Impossible to miss the 5' towers of double pink. 

An extraordinary display!

Above:  View from my kitchen window.  Notice the birdbath in the bottom right corner.  It's about 2' tall ~ that gives you some idea of height!!!

'Elodie' multiplied like crazy after last season ~ I sure didn't have nearly this many in the garden then!

NOT that I'm complaining!!!

Neither did they produce so MANY buds per stem,

each capped off with 15 to 20!!!!! 

Lovely pink torches lighting up the summer garden....

Which has created another new job for me ~ staking!!!  Again, no complaints!

'Elodie' has been a fabulous & welcome surprise, the kind we'd all like more of, right?

Oh my gosh - I MUST find this Lily. Absolutely stunning. I am so glad it multiplied for you! Your photos are incredible!

Oh WOW! You were right girl they are growing and blooming up a storm. They are so beautiful. Mine have stopped doubling so I think I need to get some more. Don't you? LOL!

I LOVE Asiatic Lilies! They're my favorites, and they're excellent cut flowers. Although sometimes, it's sad to cut the stems because they won't come back until the next year. Mine are blooming now, too, but not like that! Gorgeous!

Our local garden guru believes that Asiatic lilies are the best - beautiful, hardy and with long-lasting blooms. Kathleen, your plants are gorgeous! And, such a lovely color! Pictures are great as always!

I just ordered 10 of these from Brecks - can't wait to see them in my garden next year. As always, I'm inspired by your gardens!

I'm practically drooling over five foot lilies! Seems that everyone is posting gorgeous lilies this year, and I only have one or two wimply lilies. Sounds like I had better take care of this "problem".
