| Oriental Lilies |
Over the Fourth of July weekend, 2003, while visiting the nursery I found this specimen and decided on the spot to add it to the garden; the fragrance is delicious (unlike the unscented Asiatic lilies) and the bloom is both large and exquisite. It's an oriental lily called Mona Lisa.
The oriental lily, Mona Lisa, which I planted last year has bloomed in mid-June 2004 and is putting forth its exquisite sweet fragrance.
The oriental lily, Mona Lisa, has now also begun to bloom in mid-June 2005 . The fragrance is exquisite!
It's mid-June 2006 and judging by what I can see, the oriental lily Mona Lisa is going to put on quite a show this year!
It's 18 June and the oriental lily Mona Lisa has opened the first of its magnificent blooms.
It's now 29 June and Mona Lisa continues to open gorgeous blossoms.
It's the first day of summer, 2007, and Mona Lisa has bloomed, scenting that corner of the garden with its sweet fragrance.
Just after Memorial Day 2008, this is what Mona Lisa looks like. I think it will bloom earlier this year than last!
I actually managed to catch the first bud just starting to open.
Of course, just one day later ....
I just wish the blossoms didn't all point down toward the ground!
