THis is a beautiful lily that I spotted in the 8 or more varieties growing at the historical colonial Rose Hill Manor gardens. It had a lovely almost melon yellow tone to it, not the same as a daylily, common in the area. This had a large blossom on it as well, very stunning, but less curing in petals as some of the other lilies. There are some wonderful sites on the web if you put in searches for Lily Societies. I was stunned about the varieties they show photos of and some will trade seeds with members. All the information listed only makes me droll in wait to start my own lily gardens.

Nice shot

Artist Reply: Thank you Penny!!! It's a beautiful variety. Still trying to find out the names. I wrote the museum to see if I could get a list of the lily varieties they have, or a source to get the same ones.

Lovely warm colors.

Artist Reply: Thank you Pat. I love the varieties I found here at the manor. I really have missed having lilies in a garden. I'm hoping to have about 20 varieties and try to cross breed some in the next few years.
