Are they Easter lilies?

That was the label on them from wally world, if they aren't I have no clue what they are. I remember planting them thinking ..........wonder if these will come back.

here is what they look like on the net and a write up about them

I just read the write up, I just stuck them in the maryland dirt and said good luck............they bloomed the next year

I had seen them and thought they were pretty but I wasn't sure if they would last over winter.

 

[addy1]

We dropped to 10 this winter, will see if they make it another winter. For 1.50 in cost, for three, worth the try

 

[smcox1]

Well we can get to -25 sometimes so I dont know if they will work.

Those are definitely Easter lilies!

When I looked it up on some other sites they were all over the map on what zones it was hardy in. One said to zone 6 another to 7 and another 4,5, 6, 7 and so on. Guess you just give it the old college try and see what happens! Says you can put mulch over the bulbs in the fall and then remove some of it in the Spring. Says they like cool roots so some mulch over them all the time would be good.

Your ponds are looking real nice, funny how we never have enough rocks... I have so many but its still is not enough... when you die, whoever has the most rocks wins!!!! Ha ha ha. should get a t-shirt made that says that... kinda like some men have a T-shirt that says "when you die, whoever has the most toys wins" ! What do you think?.... must be pounding too many rocks in my back yard and getting stoned! Ha ha ha... OK there coming to take me away now.... with the nice wrap around jacket! Ha ha ha

 

[j.w]

Not sure of a t-shirt worded that way............could mean other things but not saying what I'm thinking and I'm sure Tmann will jump in here w/ his little gutter jabs at me at any moment now :razz:
Maybe you could have it printed on your wrap around jacket:

 

[smcox1]

J.w. I think I would win!

 

[j.w]

[callingcolleen1]

Addy your preforms look very natural and like they've been there. Your flowers are all so pretty too!

A friend gave my hubby a nice root, he knew I have been looking for one. Placed it near the lotus pond.

The star lilies are blooming beautifully

Love the flowers around the ponds
